Oscar Tiger Albino Albino Tiger Oscar • Large South American Cichlid • Showpiece Predator

The Albino Tiger Oscar is a striking color morph of the classic Oscar cichlid, featuring bright white to cream coloration accented with bold orange-red tiger patterning. Unlike darker tiger oscars, the albino variety has light eyes and a pale base color that makes its markings stand out dramatically.

Oscars are highly intelligent and interactive fish, often recognizing their owners and responding to movement outside the tank. This large-growing South American cichlid requires a spacious aquarium and strong filtration due to its size and appetite.

A true centerpiece fish for experienced aquarists.
