My Tiger Oscar has been in the tank for three months and is very active. It responds to my hand movements and even comes to the surface when I approach. It’s not just a fish — it feels like a pet. The markings are vivid and the fish is very curious.

Great fish with a lively personality. It’s not aggressive and enjoys swimming in the middle of the tank. I’ve noticed it seems to recognize my routine. Needs a large, stable environment though.

The fish arrived healthy and has adapted well. It’s very interactive and seems to enjoy being near the surface. I love how it watches me when I’m near the tank.
