This popular variety displays a deep charcoal or black base accented by brilliant red-orange marbling, most prominent across the flanks and fins. Its distinct patterning gives it the classic “tiger” look that makes it one of the most recognizable cichlids in the hobby.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"537\" data-end=\"996\"\u003eKnown for their dog-like behavior, Oscars are interactive, expressive, and quick to bond with their keepers—often begging for food and even allowing gentle hand-feeding. They require a large tank with strong filtration and a simple layout, as they tend to rearrange their environment and may uproot plants or decor. While they can be kept with other large, robust fish, their territorial nature (especially during breeding) makes tankmate selection important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"998\" data-end=\"1511\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"998\" data-end=\"1012\"\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/strong\u003e – Moderate\u003cbr data-start=\"1023\" data-end=\"1026\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1026\" data-end=\"1041\"\u003eTemperament\u003c\/strong\u003e – Semi-aggressive, highly intelligent\u003cbr data-start=\"1079\" data-end=\"1082\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1082\" data-end=\"1090\"\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e – Up to 12–14 inches\u003cbr data-start=\"1111\" data-end=\"1114\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1114\" data-end=\"1127\"\u003eTank Size\u003c\/strong\u003e – 75 gallons+ for a single adult\u003cbr data-start=\"1160\" data-end=\"1163\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1163\" data-end=\"1178\"\u003eTemperature\u003c\/strong\u003e – 75°F to 82°F\u003cbr data-start=\"1193\" data-end=\"1196\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1196\" data-end=\"1204\"\u003eDiet\u003c\/strong\u003e – Omnivore (quality pellets, frozen foods, occasional fresh vegetables)\u003cbr data-start=\"1276\" data-end=\"1279\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1279\" data-end=\"1285\"\u003epH\u003c\/strong\u003e – 6.5 to 7.5\u003cbr data-start=\"1298\" data-end=\"1301\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1301\" data-end=\"1307\"\u003eGH\u003c\/strong\u003e – 5–12 dGH\u003cbr data-start=\"1318\" data-end=\"1321\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1321\" data-end=\"1327\"\u003eKH\u003c\/strong\u003e – 4–10 dKH\u003cbr data-start=\"1338\" data-end=\"1341\"\u003e🔥 The Red Tiger Oscar is a striking centerpiece fish full of character and charm—ideal for aquarists ready to interact with one of the most personable fish in the hobby.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1513\" data-end=\"1578\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1513\" data-end=\"1577\"\u003eThis listing is for 1 Red Tiger Oscar – \u003cem data-start=\"1554\" data-end=\"1576\"\u003eAstronotus ocellatus\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e*\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","offers":[{"title":"3\"","offer_id":47022738899166,"sku":"","price":34.99,"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-tiger-oscar-astronotus-ocellatus","provider":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
