Anyone hear of a "blue" oscar?

[farli]

I think i have one...let me know...I am told by my lfs that they are really rare...

They're dyed. They're only rare because most people won't dye Os.

One of the new kids on the block, I personally wouldn't contribute to this, I don't care if it is "genetic coding"

Yeah my lfs just had a 'blueberry' oscar in. Expect the dye to wear off in a few months...

They do that 2 fool u in2 buying 1 @ an expensive price! they dye them & pass them off as "rare blue" oscars , wen they're just regular 1s. dont fall 4 it.

 

[ChilDawg]

They'd be dyed albinos...not regular ones.

Thank you everyone...I mainly bought it cuz it was being beat up and he said he was gonna "get rid of him soon" The price wasn't bad...$6...I paid more for my large albino...

That's a dangerous row to hoe, as others may be subjected to similar treatment in its stead...
