[Kyle17]

there he is (: my new addition, got him small so I can whatch him grow, picking up the 200 gallon tank next month, can't wait to introduce him to that.

[Goes to 11!]

He is beautiful Oscars have fantastic personality's and what a wonderful size tank you are getting for him.

Hes nice. Notice the bright orange colors? They aren't supposed to have that till they are in their late juvenile stage. The farms treat them with hormones to color them up so that they will be more attractive to buyers.

That is mean of the Farms. That's like dying the Danios and the tetras.

The colors fade before long. Unfortunately, people fall for it. Usually people with ten gallon tanks.

The danios are actually not dyed. They are the naturally fluorescent offspring of genetically modified fish.

I would have liked to have a more natural looking Oscar but I couldn't find them anywhere in 4 different cities :/ and I can't order one due to some complications

[Shidohari]

So they're very beautiful Mutants lol...

I love danios btw...too bad they either died from ammonia poisoning or the betta got them...though the way my tank was before i started testing and syphoning, i'm betting it was ammonia poisoning.

Most of the oscars at petshops look like that. Only way to get a natural looking one nowadays is to know someone who breeds them.

I know someone that breeds them but I don't think he's looked into international shipping yet.
