Red Nemo Oscar 3"

3" Red Nemo Oscar (Astronotus ocellatus)

The 3" Red Nemo Oscar is a premium, high-color Oscar cichlid featuring intense red and orange patterning over a dark base. Bred for vivid coloration and strong genetics, this juvenile Oscar already shows the bold contrast and personality the strain is known for—and will only improve as it matures.

Oscars are among the most intelligent freshwater fish in the hobby. They recognize their owners, interact at the glass, and quickly become the focal point of any large aquarium. At the 3-inch size, Red Nemo Oscars adapt easily to new environments and are ideal for grow-out systems, allowing hobbyists to raise them to full size under optimal conditions.

Hardy and fast-growing, this Oscar thrives in well-filtered aquariums with stable water parameters. As it matures, expect deeper reds, thicker body structure, and classic Oscar behavior that makes this species a long-term favorite among monster fish keepers.
