Red Smooth Oscar

CAPTIVE BRED

Red Smooth Oscars are known for their bright orange or red bodies. They need a large tank with a dark background to show their colors best. These fish are interactive and can live a long time but require experienced care due to their size and territorial behavior. Oscars dig and may uproot plants, so sturdy decorations are best. They eat mostly protein-rich foods and need clean water to stay healthy. Proper care helps them thrive as striking and engaging aquarium fish.
