Whut up my OFL family i have a few ?'s 1. what exactly is a blue oscar.. 2. where can you get them im in Columbu$ ohio and have never seen these guys anywhere;)

blue or blueberry oscars a lutinos that are dyed the blue colour. they are not a colour morph like the lemon oscars. i personally feel the dying process to be cruel to the fish and dont beleive that they should be purchased. i have recently stopped dealing with a local fish store because of they were selling dyed fish.


jsut my opinion

You have got to be a little careful when choosing vibrant coloured fish. In some cases they are artificially dyed. I don't think its widespread now, but it does still go on. I have not seen a blue Oscar myself but I know that some are bred in different colours. If in doubt, ask where the fish came from

i believe if you got one, you will lucky enough if you did not come back to the fish shop two weeks later because the color had gone out.

i thought that was a bit questionable so thats why their blue no i would no purchase 1 i jus was in the know thanx

i would never buy 1 i was just curious as if it were a true breed

yes i cee now the lemons and the ruby reds a so beautiful but i thought that there was a true breed of blues thax for the info

nope, theirs no such breed, i would advise you to stay clear of these, its cruel and wrong, and also, it wont stay that strong blue, it will fade, thats if it survives.

i wouldn't be so quick to say ruby reds aren't dyed.

one thing should always guide us for a healthy fish.
no matter what color they has/have,,,, it should always
be vibrant, active, and compete for foods. if that is
their condition, then you have a very healthy fishes.
