i have seen them. from what i hear, they lose this blue coloration and look like plain old albinos as adults. someone correct me if i am wrong.

[moricollins]

they are dyed, and yes, they do lose their colouration as they get older.

Hey conman,
I recently asked the same question. All my responses said they were dyed. So i went back to the store and talked to the owner, after five minutes of debating he admitted they are dyed albino oscars. They will lose there color, if they survive. Don't bother. My finacee loved them but after that we settled on a red oscar baby

thats what i figured. They musted have dyed them by putting them in blue water for a very long time.

yeah, i saw some "lemon" Oscars the other day, like four or five of them, and the guy at the lfs said they came with a shipment of albino tigers. they were nice but it sucks that theyre dyed
