I have 3 albino oscars and 3 tiger oscars and i am taking them to the pet store next week as he said he will give me store credit for them.
I was wondering how much are these worth each they are between 20-25cm long. cheers BK

the albinos would probably would go for more.
round about 30-50 dollars for each.
the tigers are around the same.
but it really depends on how they look and what condition they're in.
i mean, no store will give you much for a banged up oscar.

Expect to get less than 1/2 of what the LFS will sell them for, they will pay you wholesale or less for them,you could try to sell them on here in the classified section also

In my experience, Oscars that large, no matter what variety (yes, even v/t's) are notoriously hard to move in a retail setting. I agree with Dazz, you could probably expect $10-$20 at the most from a retailer. You'd be much better off selling them privately ;)

Well I have an albino tiger aswell as a red tiger, I have been to every aquariam storm in my area plus most of the Gold Coast and there isn't a difference in price between species. There is of course a difference in stores, but not species. I would suggest selling them privatly, you will get more money.
