I will say this again... your "yellow" oscar is no more than a red oscar. They all look like that as juvis. trust me man, I have seen enough of them to know

your "yellow" or gold oscar is no diffrent than any other common oscar when it come to care.. Most oscars sold in stores are the same fish, just diffrent color morphs. and not all oscars look alike. you could find 2 diffrent red oscars and one could be orange while one is a reddish orange (what you call a gold oscar). It is no more than a diffrent colored red oscar. Did your all knowing petstore tell you that?

you sound like some of my professors who are so smart they feel like they are too good to share information... so cool!

so youre telling me theoretically that an oscar that is all green with a little red is a RED oscar just some mutation?

and you sound just like one of those kids that obviosly listens to everything their damn lfs tells them. I'm not talking about every oscar out there is a red oscar. I am saying that the ones with similar colors to a red oscar are just a red oscar w/ a bit of off coloring. there are alot of color varients of oscars out there, and if you want to call an off color red oscar a yellow oscar, go for it. but I am just telling you where your fish came from (isnt that what you wanted to know in the first place?

). and everybody out there that knows about oscars will agree with me that this is indeed a red oscar (or an color varient vary close to a red oscar)

that is a red oscar. and oscars do change colors as well. depending on it's mood my red can be anywhere from a brownish orange, to orange red, and once in while when he is really pissed off he turns almost completly yellow :nod:

and just curious, but what time do you wake up in the morning? you do realize that when fish go to sleep they often become very pale dont you?

Just do a Google or Yahoo serch for red oscar and I am sure that you will find a pic of a red oscar that looks exactly like yours

. My red even looked like yours. You need to know that he will not stay that color for the rest of their life. Give that fish 3-4 months and he will be a bright orange

this fish here is what yours will look like in probly 2 months max.
