Red Tiger Oscar
The Red Tiger Oscar is a large South American cichlid indigenous to the Amazon and Ucayali river systems. They live in slow moving waters, often resting underneath floating debris and other covered areas. Oscars use their large jaws to capture smaller fish and insects as well as a variety of fruit on the water’s surface.
