Other Species Of Oscars?

[diburning]

I think there are 4 species of oscars.

Venuzuala oscar -

Astronotus orbiculatus or Astronotus obicullaris (striped oscar) -

and
Astronotus crassipinnis (striped/black oscar) Link with info

also, a nice lemon color morph of the normal oscar (astonotus ocellatus)

NOTE: This fish is a real color morph and not a dyed/painted fish

Hmm I was told my Oscar was a Tiger Oscar but after seeing those pics (and the pics in the link) I think he's just a normal black Oscar. His skin is greenish (mixed dark and lightish), and he's got some gold colored stripes. He's only about 4 inches long so it's hard to tell exactly what he'll look like when he's bigger.. but I think that's what he is. Good info
