went to the lfs a week ago and they had 2 baby blue oscars, not cobalt blue like sky blue! really blue with white patterns. i almost bought one but he would have been lunch ..... is this rare? i hope this is not a product of this new tatooing crap!!
 
It's the tattooing crap. I've seen purple and pink as well.
 
those are blueberry oscars. Just lutino oscars that they dye. :swear:
 
:iagree:

Its not the tattooing, its the dye where they dip them in acid and then soak them in dye. They are lucky if the survived the process.
 
thats dumb, i dont want one now
 
i've seen them too, pretty cute if you ask me, but i wouldn't get one
 
there put in acid??? how painful is that!!!! i cant believe they let crap like that go on, although they let all kinds of bs go on with animals and fish alike.

i ave seen albino oscars turn blue naturally though. my freind has one where the orange pattern has a blue outline, yet it was almost pure white when he bought it.
