The Story
Long Fin Tiger Oscar
The long fin tiger oscar, or veil oscar, takes a Lot of sorting and breeding to get to our warehouse, so these are a bit more expensive than the classic tiger oscar. The long flowing fins that get even more pronounced as this fish gets bigger is what that extra money is for! Long fin tiger oscars will eat just about anything, including small fish, but get along with most fish their own size until they get to breeding size - some can get a bit mean at that time.

- Origin: South America
- Lifespan: 12 years
- Max Size: 12 inches
- Food: Flake, live, frozen, pellet
- Shipping Size: Approx. 2 1/2 inches
