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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"585\" data-end=\"1028\"\u003eLike 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1030\" data-end=\"1580\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1030\" data-end=\"1044\"\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/strong\u003e – Easy to Moderate\u003cbr data-start=\"1063\" data-end=\"1066\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1066\" data-end=\"1081\"\u003eTemperament\u003c\/strong\u003e – Semi-aggressive; territorial, but personable\u003cbr data-start=\"1128\" data-end=\"1131\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1131\" data-end=\"1139\"\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e – Up to 12–14 inches\u003cbr data-start=\"1160\" data-end=\"1163\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1163\" data-end=\"1176\"\u003eTank Size\u003c\/strong\u003e – 75 gallons+ (larger recommended for adults)\u003cbr data-start=\"1222\" data-end=\"1225\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1225\" data-end=\"1240\"\u003eTemperature\u003c\/strong\u003e – 75°F to 82°F\u003cbr data-start=\"1255\" data-end=\"1258\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1258\" data-end=\"1266\"\u003eDiet\u003c\/strong\u003e – Omnivore (high-quality pellets, frozen foods, occasional fresh offerings like shrimp or veggies)\u003cbr data-start=\"1365\" data-end=\"1368\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1368\" data-end=\"1374\"\u003epH\u003c\/strong\u003e – 6.5 to 7.5\u003cbr data-start=\"1387\" data-end=\"1390\"\u003e🔥 The Longfin Red Tiger Oscar is a showpiece fish that combines beauty, movement, and unmistakable personality—perfect for aquarists ready to build a tank around a true aquatic centerpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1582\" data-end=\"1661\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1582\" data-end=\"1661\"\u003eThis listing is for 1 Longfin Red Tiger Oscar – \u003cem data-start=\"1631\" data-end=\"1653\"\u003eAstronotus ocellatus\u003c\/em\u003e (var.)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","offers":[{"title":"6\"","offer_id":46986573938910,"sku":"","price":129.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/4768\/4574\/files\/Photo.png?v=1741200651","url":"https:\/\/poseidonaquaticsandplants.com\/products\/longfin-red-tiger-oscar-astronotus-ocellatus-var","provider":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
