Yesterday I bought 2 tiger Oscars from the local pet store. They are Black and cream of colour. After doing some research on the net I only found black and red tiger oscars. Are these that I bought real tiger oscars or not?

nope tigers have "tiger stripes" what you have is a pair of regular reds.

they could be a red oscar, or sometimes they dont always have stripes and may just be a plain black one or a plain albino one.it just depends on how they wer bred.

These are the most commmon varieties of oscars:

Tiger

Red

Lutino - generally comes in 4 forms. One is commonly referred to as an albino (true albinos NO dark orange and VERY rare) and is available in the red or tiger colorations:
Lutino tiger
Lutino red
The other looks like the previous examples but has black on the fins. It also comes in red & tiger colorations:
Lutino tiger
Lutino red

Common/Wildtype (basically looks like a tiger oscar, but has very little orange)

Veiltailed/long finned(comes in all color variations)

My guess is yours is a common oscar.
