Albino Smooth Oscar

CAPTIVE BRED

The Albino Smooth Oscar displays a striking blood orange-red coloration with a cream-white stripe along its head and characteristic red eyes. Renowned for their impressive size and vivid hues, these oscars demand spacious tanks and attentive care. They tend to be territorial, making solitary housing or companionship with large, peaceful fish advisable. Their diet should be rich in protein, and maintaining pristine water conditions with regular changes is essential for their health. Due to their sensitivity to light, subdued lighting is recommended. A balanced diet and optimal water quality are key to preventing diseases such as "hole in the head".
