This is one of my Red Tiger Oscars. It was one and a half inches long when I got it, and now it is 11 inches long. It is three years old. These fish are high maintenance because they are messy eaters. They require frequent water changes of at least 50%. I do this once a week. My fish lives in a 55 gallon aquarium but soon it will be moving to a 125 gallon home. These fish live 10-15 years.
It has become very aggressive towards me, it splashes me when I open the lid to feed him. It eats Cichlid Pellets, lots of Cichlid pellets.
Nice photo, great job.
I remember going through my Pleco phase in my old house (3-4 of them, 40gal tank). They weren’t really messy eaters, but MAN did they crap a lot!
Cool looking Oscar!
“Hi Oscar!” 😀
Lol – It splashes you to welcome you…
Or I should say: “Hi Grumpy, the Oscar…!” 😉
Nice photo, great capture of Mr Grumpy!
Thank you

He’s gorgeous. I didn’t know they lived that long.
Ha neither did I until after I got them. I have Two the other is a Albino Tiger Oscar. I got them at the same time, the Albino is just a little bit smaller and has a better temperament it will eat from my fingers.
Good one sir
Thank you
