The albino tiger oscar is striking in appearance. It’s a bit aggressive, so I made sure to keep it in a large tank with only similarly sized fish. It’s active and enjoys the water movement. Feeding is straightforward with high-quality fish flakes and frozen foods.

Beautiful fish with a unique coloration. I noticed it becomes more territorial as it grows. I keep it alone now to avoid any stress. Water parameters are stable and it seems healthy after a few months.

Great addition to my 120-gallon tank. It’s not shy and swims a lot. I feed it twice daily and it eats everything. The only thing to note is it does eat smaller fish, so I removed a few small species early on.
