What Do Pure White Oscars Grow Up To Become?

[cuticom]

I bought a pure white O a few weeks ago and at the time figured it'd stay the same colour, been looking online and I havnt come across even a single pic of an all white oscar. So what do they grow up to be? albino tiger O's?

A bigger white Oscar?!?


They should start to delelop orange on the flanks as they grow if they are white tiger Oscars, if not they they will be white Oscars.

iv seen a tiger oscar turn and mature into a full red oscar, same with a white oscar turning out as an adult albino red!

It could be a "true albino" oscar, but the chances of that are slim as they are very rare from what I hear, expensive.

It will prob start to color up as it grows showing its typical orange stripes and thereby confirming being a "albino" tiger oscar (even though its not really an albino)

Oky dokes thanks, I don't mind what he looks like when he grows up, was just curious to see what he could become. Hes got almost iridescent tiger stripes that only show up with the flash of a camera so I guess he'll most likely become a tiger.

U got any pictures of your Oscar now? This was a good place for me to get a little insight on the different morphs. http/www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/oscar_cichlid2.php

I brought an all white Oscar, and within the first week of settling started to get a little color in. Here you can see a little of the color.

I've actually had him for a few weeks and apart from a small amount of black on his dorsal no sign of colour yet.
