	Dyed oscar?
superlion Mega Fish Posts: 1246 Kudos: 673 Votes: 339 Registered: 27-Sep-2003	The regular pink one looks like it might be dyed, but the pink veil doesn't. It has the same patterns I would expect on an albino oscar, especially the ocellus near the tail. ><>

I've seen true Pink Oscars, though, with colors that didn't seem to be dyed. They're pretty frickin' cool, but haven't seen any since, so I can't be 100% sure they weren't dyed. Sorry, I'm rambling... My guess is, this pink veiltail probably is dyed. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

And that site sells TONS of dyed fish without labelling them as dyed, not to mention soreading the worst kinds of false information.
