Blueberry Oscar

[chomper]

I was just at my lfs today and they just got some blueberry oscars but I dont know to much about them and I would like to see some pictures of some when they are adults. Can anybody help me?

-THANKS-

I'm pretty sure they are dyed- it's a shameful, unhealthy practice. I woudl avoid not only the fish but the whole store and be sure to let them know why.

That is pretty sad. Thank you for your help.

yup, blueberry oscars are dyed

Well i'd say fishdude wanted to make his point known

Yep, dyed...but basically the same as any other oscar.

So what color are oscars really (sorry if this sounds stupid)? I'm really confussed

 

[Cichlid-Man]

There are many color forms. Usually you will see Tiger Oscars or Albino Tiger Oscars.

Search Tiger Oscar on google and you can see what they look like.
