WOW WERE U GET THAT RED OSCAR FROM I WANT 1 HE/SHE IS GOREJUS LOL

If your refering to mine, thanks. I was under the impression he was a gold oscar, i have a book: The guide to owning, OSCARS by Richard Stratton, good book btw, and they list a variety called gold oscars. And i bought him as labeled as a gold, others say red, but he's not red (like the o on the hikari gold packet), he's gold in colour anyone wanna weigh in????

Danzig86, your Oscar looks like the Oscars I see in Chinatown, Seattle. They seem more gold than red, but have a strange metallic vibrancy. The term Gold only came into use after the introduction of the true red-red Oscars. Once they showed up, the old red-gold Oscars just weren't red enough to go by that name, so people started calling them Gold Oscars. I'm almost certain that Oscars like yours are the result of a cross between the old red line and the new red line, but I have no evidence for this aside from their color. I'd call that a red-gold to be on the safe side.
