Longfin Red Tiger Oscar - Astronotus Ocellatus var

The Longfin Red Tiger Oscar (Astronotus ocellatus var.) is a dramatic and eye-catching variety of the classic Tiger Oscar, selectively bred for its elongated, flowing fins and intense red-orange patterning. The bold “tiger-stripe” markings streak across a dark charcoal to black body, creating a vivid contrast that only becomes more striking with age and proper care. The long, trailing fins add a graceful touch to this otherwise powerful and commanding fish.

Like all Oscars, this variety is highly intelligent, interactive, and full of personality—often recognizing its caretaker and begging for food. They’re known for their curiosity and occasional redecorating habits, and do best in a large, well-filtered aquarium with sturdy décor and ample swimming space. Though they can be kept with other large, semi-aggressive fish, they should not be housed with small tankmates, which may be seen as prey.
