Hey all,

I was just wondering if anyone has adult/large juvenile "wild" oscar pictures. I'm really not a huge fan of most of the adult oscars I've seen, but I can't stop drooling over how adorable the wild ones I saw from Rapp's stock were. Perhaps they'll be the ones to change my mind?

Check these out, Theyre Orinoco Oscars. I really like the colors and patterns:

Actually the neon colored danios are genetically altered. It doesn't harm them in anyway. The gene from the original parents passes along through the generations. Now they are just bred and come out that way. Now most painted fish, and things like blueberry oscars are colored in the way you describe. I'm not sure if the orange oscar is real or not. The fact that the eye is also the same shade of orange makes me think it's dyed.

As far as wild oscars. I found this link

What happened to this thread? Apologies to the OP for all this BS. At least some people provided wild O's. Here's mine. Sold as "Wild Caught Peru".
