Blueberry Oscar?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Yep, I agree, very inhumane treatment. They never look right either. They always seem very sickly and swim funny. A friend of mine used to work at a very questionable LFS and told me that half of them die before their even sold. Usually only live for a month or so. I would check out some of the natural morphs of oscars, you can find some very cool stuff like the sunset oscars. I believe someone on here has a pair. Very beautiful fish.

don't by one, dyed fish are very prone to infections, dieasies, all sorts of bad things, they die very quickly, dyeing fish is murder imo.

Not only this, if there's a market for them they'll keep selling them. If you consider yourself a true hobbiest, you'll show no interest in them at all. This is the one and only way we'll see this torturous practice abolished from our hobby, for good.

And you know what? Its the 8 year old kids who buy these, people who dont care about fish. Just for pretty colours. 4 Weeks later it dies.
"Oh mummy, lets get another"
 
Yep, that's why they do it and have continued to do it.

So very true. So that is why if your LFS is carrying dyed fish, you need to let them know that because of this you will buy NOTHING from them as long as they continue to carry dyed fish.
