My Red Oscar

[adnan]

Thank you Hendre!
My Oscar is 2 years old and big only 11 inches. I expected and wanted he/she to be bigger but that's it.

Wow, Pops, I remember your fish, he/she became a good and healthy looking big boy/girl!

Thanks Ad, got bigger than I expected, usually lutino,s are a little smaller. This one became a brute.

How big do lutinos usually get?

I think 12 inches is normal size for a regular Oscar fish

Ime wc, Tiger and reds get 13+ inch, the rest about 11 to 12 inch.

Thank you Dan, it's good to know that.
In general the albino varietys is more delicate, sensitive to diseases, and obviously smaller compared with the others.

How did you know he doesn't tolerate other fish? I'm curious because right now I have a baby oscar in a tank with a jack dempsey and they seem to be getting along. Did you use to have fish in there with him?

I tried with another Oscar, which one was almost killed, tried with tinfoil barbs, couple of them was half eaten, tried with red parrots- just safed in the right moment, lucky fish, my 8 inches albino pleco- I found only his head.
I know, Oscars are moderately aggressive but there are always exceptions.
