I think there is a sit about that something like [.stopdyingfish.com], but I'm not exactally sure what the site's correct addy is but it is similar to that one.
I found these though, pretty cool if your into that kind of thing.

They are called blueberry oscars where I live. I am seeing more and more them in the lfs.

The site is Death by Dyeing.

Sorry dude but them oscars are definitely dyed. If you can, return them and show people your not willing to support the dyeing of fish even though you didn't know.

shan24 Sounds like a dyed fish. I saw some pics online of bright red oscars - they looked absolutely plastic and horrible and lacked all the characteristics of the real oscar that make them such a fun fish to keep.

Those red oscars are not dyed believe it or not. They are oscars achieved through selective breeding. There is a link on this site about them somewhere.... Would love to get my hands on them blood red oscars.

you are going to end up with an ugly, sickened oscar that you overpayed for


*sigh* I hate dyed fish and everytime someoen buys one it just supports it.

poor little guys... hate to say it but by buying them you encouraged the dying of more fish... but i guess its not your fault because you didn't know. and as you said in your first post in this thread, something about "hitting feeders hard" or something to that extent, i really hope thats not all your feeding them... and hope that if you do feed them feeders at all that you have raised them yourself and are not feeding them those unhealthy, disease-ridden rosy reds and small goldfish...
