Oscars have very erratic colour changes as they mature. The red may intensify, stay the same, or even diminish. You can't predict it.

Although, I think I've heard somewhere that if enhanced with astaxanthin and the like at a certain stage of its growth, any additional colour will stay with it. Don't quote me on it though.

BTW, thats a lutino, not albino

A Lutino is a not pure albino. Your fish has black in it fins, also has black eyes. A true albino has no black at all, and the eyes are pink. They are commonly called albino anyways.

So if you checked out my thread. When I got my Oscar she had like five dots on each side only.20170605_181533.jpg

Some months later she started to fill in the bare areas20171007_104707.jpg

At this point she was about 4inches or so. I started to feed her Hikari Carnisticks. 20180409_021908.jpg

And here she is nearly 11 months old, and 10inches long. When I started feeding the Carnisticks and more freeze dried Krill her orange coloring went crazy.

Is that very common people think Lutino as same as albino tiger Oscar?
Therefore the mainly classfiled them different fro m their black fin and black eye ??
I searching on youtu be and see video some Lutino Oscar are also has lots of red colour on body as well
So my one may have chance to increase the colour up in future??

Yes my Oscar Toni is a Lutino, she has black eyes, and when was younger had a bit of black in her pelvic fins.
