Albino Oscar 6-7cm

The Albino Oscar (Astronotus ocellatus) is a striking colour variant of one of the aquarium hobby's most iconic and intelligent cichlids. Originating from the Amazon River basin in South America, this albino form displays a creamy white to pale gold body with soft peachy-orange markings, giving it an ethereal beauty that stands out in any large display tank. Oscars are renowned for their dog-like personalities — they recognise their owners, beg for food, and interact with their environment in ways few other fish can match.
