Tiger Oscar

Tiger Oscars are intelligent and bold cichlids known for their vibrant orange patterns and engaging personalities. They quickly learn to recognize their owners and often beg for food like pets. Due to their large size and territorial behavior, they require a spacious aquarium with strong filtration and regular maintenance. Decor should be sturdy, as Oscars may rearrange their environment.
