 As
all know our general supplier for aquarium fish LiveAquaria.com and Drs.
Foster & Smith (same company) ended their online sales business, due to
state online sales tax issues. Thus links on fish for sale
no longer work as 02/22/10.
We are changing our tropical fish
suppliers now to "Aquarium-Club MEMBERS ONLY", so please stop back,
because we will have more tank raised fish shortly,
15 years of selling tropical fish online and
safely shipping fish and supplies to thousands of satisfied customers, without any
complaints!!!

General Comment: The Tiger Oscar is
a color variation of Astronotus ocellatus Oscar. It is also known as
the Marble Cichlid or the Velvet Cichlid and is a colorful addition to a large
aquarium. The Tiger Oscar has a blue-black background with an orange-red
pattern. The dorsal fin has an eyespot that is very brightly colored. They
will form a pair, make a nuclear family and are generally peaceful in nature.
It is hard to tell the difference between the male and females, but during
spawning the female has obvious genital papilla.
The Tiger Oscar requires a large aquarium of at least 70 gallons with a deep
sand bottom and a few large rocks. They will dig up plants; so any that are in
the tank should be potted with the root surfaces covered with rocks. Using
floating plants is a good compromise to this problem. Tiny Oscars form a tight
cluster for protection and this is normal behavior for juvenile fish. Large
Oscars are not as territorial as most other cichlids when full grown but will
consume anything they can fit into their mouths
