Greetings!

As I've said in my introduction page, I have kept Oscar for no more than 2 months. However, they have grown tremendously.

One question though. Since the time of purchase till to date, my 3 baby Oscar seem like they have changed in color. When I got them, they are in healthy black color, however, now seem like they are turning into green! Is this a kind of disease? I bet no, but I just hope to get some advice on how to let my Oscar to grow healthy and with striking bright color instead of greenie looking? Advice anyone?

Thanks and cheerios!

that is normal....

and add pictures of your O's transformation!

Thanks for all the feedback... Hopefully mine transform into something real nice... Will take some pictures tonight and upload...

Question:
Any chemical or medicine that can 'help' with the transformation? Meaning make the color brighter or something? Or its all depends on the diet and the environment?

i agree make sure ur water perams are good any change in the tanks water can cause this my oscars go dull and get larthargic when theay are pissed off or there water is getting to the point that is needs to be changed food can also play a part in color

This is normal, all oscars change as they get older. Good quality food will help bring out the colours in your fish but wont help with the colour change. Hikari cichlid gold is a good food- the pellets are red, i think its the shrimp in it that brings out the red.
