Instead of patchy blotches, this variety displays rich, flowing red tones across a darker body—giving it a bolder yet more elegant appearance. Like all oscars, it boasts an intelligent, expressive nature and quickly becomes a centerpiece in any large aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"589\" data-end=\"989\"\u003eOscars are highly interactive fish that often recognize their keepers, beg for food, and display playful or territorial behaviors. They require a spacious tank with strong filtration and minimal delicate décor, as they are known to rearrange their environment. Compatible with other large, durable species, Red Smooth Oscars do best either alone, in a bonded pair, or with carefully chosen tankmates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"991\" data-end=\"1449\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"991\" data-end=\"1005\"\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/strong\u003e – Moderate\u003cbr data-start=\"1016\" data-end=\"1019\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1019\" data-end=\"1034\"\u003eTemperament\u003c\/strong\u003e – Semi-aggressive, highly intelligent\u003cbr data-start=\"1072\" data-end=\"1075\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1075\" data-end=\"1083\"\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e – Up to 12–14 inches\u003cbr data-start=\"1104\" data-end=\"1107\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1107\" data-end=\"1120\"\u003eTank Size\u003c\/strong\u003e – 75 gallons+\u003cbr data-start=\"1134\" data-end=\"1137\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1137\" data-end=\"1152\"\u003eTemperature\u003c\/strong\u003e – 75°F to 82°F\u003cbr data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1170\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1170\" data-end=\"1178\"\u003eDiet\u003c\/strong\u003e – Omnivore (high-quality pellets, earthworms, shrimp, veggies)\u003cbr data-start=\"1241\" data-end=\"1244\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1244\" data-end=\"1250\"\u003epH\u003c\/strong\u003e – 6.5 to 7.5\u003cbr data-start=\"1263\" data-end=\"1266\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1266\" data-end=\"1272\"\u003eGH\u003c\/strong\u003e – 5–12 dGH\u003cbr data-start=\"1283\" data-end=\"1286\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1286\" data-end=\"1292\"\u003eKH\u003c\/strong\u003e – 4–10 dKH\u003cbr data-start=\"1303\" data-end=\"1306\"\u003e❤️🔥 The Red Smooth Oscar is a bold, silky twist on a classic—ideal for aquarists seeking personality and power wrapped in a wash of deep red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1451\" data-end=\"1521\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1451\" data-end=\"1521\"\u003eThis listing is for 1 Red Smooth Oscar – \u003cem data-start=\"1493\" data-end=\"1515\"\u003eAstronotus ocellatus\u003c\/em\u003e var.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","offers":[{"title":"3\"","offer_id":47022744797406,"sku":"","price":129.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/4768\/4574\/files\/Photo.png?v=1741200651","url":"https:\/\/poseidonaquaticsandplants.com\/products\/red-smooth-oscar-astronotus-ocellatus-var","provider":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
