Wow! , those look surreal.

Those are the same color as a good quality red oscar, just that there's more covering the body, and you can tell they're being kept under very specific lighting to intensify the color.

I agree on the lighting coment. I would love to see one under differant conditions.

Is it just me ? or do they look dyed?

[liv2padl]

lighting enhancement at its best.

[Rbishop]

A non dyed one, would be awesome.

i bought a "ruby red" one not to long back. not nearly as red as those blood red ones. but close. and he/she is still purty small, so we will see if it fades.

Well if anybody see them in the lfs dont be afraid to inform us

You can intensify oscars color with lighting and also by the food you feed them. There is a guy that lives by me that raises them and feeds them blood worms on a daily basis. His glow an irredescent blood red!!! VERY IMPRESSIVE. I would also believe that your water quality will help in the long run.

I agree there is some light enhancment, apparantley, they are in singapore and are very very hard to get outside of there.

the short bodied one was pretty ugly though
