These are the most commmon varieties of oscars: Lutino - generally comes in 4 forms. One is commonly referred to as an albino (true albinos have NO dark orange and VERY rare) and is available in the red or tiger colorations: Common/Wildtype (basically looks like a tiger oscar, but has very little orange) Veiltailed/long finned(comes in all color variations) And a fairly rare Sunshine oscar which is like a lutino red oscar, but has yellow instead of orange. Also a Golden oscar which is like a regular red oscar, but again, has yellow instead of red. And of course the Blueberry oscar. These are fish that are put through the horrible process of dying. It weakens the fish which makes it much more susceptibe to illnesses and shortens it's lifespan. Plus the color eventually fades so you're left with an expensive, sickly, lutino. Please, do not buy dyed fish. More info on dyed fish can be found here: http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ -Chelle [This message has been edited by t_chelle16 (edited 03-06-2004).] IP: Logged |

Do you have pictures of the snow, camouflage and ruby? My guess is they're just other names for lutino, common, and red oscars. I have heard of raspberry/strawberry oscars. What gets me about them is some lutinos (like mine) naturally have a pinkish color so why do people put the fish through the pain of dying pink/red? -Chelle IP: Logged |
