Copper Oscars?

eyespot · Feb 23, 2022

I came across a copper color morph of Oscar for sale online but I can’t find any info on them online. I saw one person inquired on MFK a couple years ago but didn’t get a response so I was hoping for more luck. The juvie they have pictured is very distinctive and good looking so I mostly want to know if they keep the same vibrant colors into adulthood. I’d love to see pics.

So they are calling the red oscars , copper oscars now? In truth, the red oscars from way back then were never really that red in coloration. They were more "copper" in color as adults.

Show us the picture you are talking about.

It doesn’t seem like a marketing gimmick. It looks like a legit color variant to me.

Only time will tell.... without adult coloration on the site, it's a big guess. Oscars are known to dramatically change color from juvenile to adult.

At one point there were dye injected blueberry oscars....
