lemon/true albino/yellow oscar?

[PoopSmart]

Are these all the same fish? my LFS has some 6 inch true albino oscars that look jsut like this picture and I really want one. They are on sale for 28 bucks. Is that good for these? I never see them.

from what I have heard they are rare. I think it is a good deal as petsmart sells 6" oscars for 15 bucks.

oh geez these are so healthy too at this fish store, like just as good as the one in the pic easy.

I would have to do some serious tank rearranging to get one but I want to.

thanks tho I thought I hadn't seen them too much but i wasn't sure

true sunshine O's hold their color well as adults. Here's my 2 year old pair. They're a little more yellow than you can tell. The flash washed the yellow out a bit.

The lemon/yellow oscars are a selectively bred strain which is different than an albino oscar.

Very attractive (for oscars!).

 

[PoopSmart]

those are beautiful! so they aren't albinos, they are just selectively bred?

I will have to get one, the only other oscar colors I really like are the wild caughts or the black and white ones.

A guy told me theres such hing as a purple one though and it isn't dyed.

Is this true?

He hasn't eaten in 24 hours, and i am hoping he will get over it. I gave away almost half my fish, this guy is gorgeous he is like a lustrous gold, more so than my gold severum

He looks like he has some poop that is going to come out soon, is this a sign that he was fed feeders or something? It is like a little lump, i keep thinking hes constipated. Any advice?
