Juvenile oscar colorations are generally a lot differnt than what they will be as adults so it's really hard to tell. My lutino oscar started out a solid pale pinkish-orange color and didn't start getting the darker orange scales until she was about 4 inches.

You will probably just have to wait and see.

You'll just have to wait until it get's bigger to see how much orange it will have. Sounds like it's either a tiger (dark base w/orange stripes) or common (dark base with yellow stripes and maybe a few orange scales).
