ok... then this argument will be put to rest for 2 months... and when his red isnt showing by the end of february... ill post it again so we can duke it out

(assuming he isnt sold to george at the shark aquarium by then

- that is the reason this whole thing started in the first place)

i really have yet to see a picture of my fish anywhere - close in your reds pattern but never any yellow like mine is always displaying to some degree. he has his orange times which is what you love to exploit, but never EVER red in the past 4 months of ownership and the yellow is what i believe makes it unique... whether it be actually a "red" oscar or not... hes a yellow "red" oscar if thats the case... and well know soon enough i hope... in two months my friend!

Your oscar is a common Red.. Nothing special.. His coloration will NOT change..

just a common ugly brown/red... NOT orange.. MINE is orange and was born this way..

another common red oscar.

i have a 11 inch+ orange oscar

 

[hyphen]

i still cant get him to turn bright yellow like he does in the morning but this is getting there.. the bright yellow on his dorsal fins is literally the color of his entire body in the morning when i first wake up

[Bilbo]

[WorldBelow07]

[Peacock]

is that a jaguar cichlid in that picture?

[snapback]857521[/snapback]​

yes.. a 14-15 inch female.. around 17-18 years old.

 

[jonscilz]

what are they worth $$$ after that many years/that size?

 

[Peacock]

i paid 50 bucks for her.. i had her for 2 years.. then gave her to my friend..

50-75 would be average for a jag that size.

dude youre wrong i was almost convinced but i took it to a lfs called ocean aquarium in pleasantville,nj and the owner told me it definately wasnt a red oscar and he had never heard of yellow or gold oscars before and mine was some sort of cross breed. hes borderline not juv anymore either hes approaching 7.5"+ and still displays this coloration if not even more so... and besides that i want more information about this fish type not whether or not i own one. if you have information on a yellow or gold oscar then id be happy to hear it..

That oscar is a red

Since I didn't see pics -
Yellow oscars look like this

(not a pic I took,just one someone sent me)

Yellow - as far as I've heard are golds breed with "albinos" -

Golds look like a bronzeish colored red - with a yellow pattern
Jeff Rapps has a pic of Golds on his site here

Golds been around for a long time

so youre telling me theoretically that an oscar that is all green with a little red is a RED oscar just some mutation

No a reds just a color mutation of a green

This one used to look almost like the one this threads about until it grew and got color
red /orange

THis is an Orange oscar.

Nice one too

omfg i think i just splooged over that yellow oscar
