What Kind Of Oscar Is My Oscar?

[Suriliel]

Okay this isn't really all that important, I'm just curious. I've seen pictures of the different kinds of Oscars and thought mine was a black oscar, but he's got some little reddish, orangish spots on him that almost look like those of a tiger oscar. He could be a mix of the two I suppose, but any insight would be great Here's a link to some pictures of him. It's sort of hard to see the spots, they're small and didn't show up very bright in the picture, but he's got a couple vertical stripes on him too. His main color is a dark greenish black and then has light tan colored stripes and the orange spots. Thanks for any insight Let me know if the link doesn't work....

That's the best picture I have of him I think, you can go to the main album and there's a couple more (including a video titled Oscarfish) of him too.

The quality of that picture is pretty poor so i can't really see but if you say it has orange patches coming through it's more than like to be a tiger oscar, some tiger oscars have more colouration than others .

Thanx yea I think he may be a tiger but it's just odd that he doesn't have very many spots. They are quite bright though just small and only about 8 of them. It's hard to get pictures of him from the side because he loves the camera.. keeps swimming towards it wherever it goes.. heh.

Yep I'd definitely say he's a tiger.
