Blue Jack Dempseys and Yellow Oscars

[Tobigara]

Its all fake my friend. There is no natural living Yellow Oscar or blueberry jack living today. These are dye colored originals like parrots. These farmers bred these kinds of fish to make more money coz of the color and anyone who is uneducated about these things would buy them. So the seller is preying on ppl's stupidly pretty much.

i can't say anything about yellow oscars but blue jd's are found in nature. i don't think you have done any real research. blue jd's are perfectly natural. they are usually killed in nature because they are smaller and less aggressive so they either get killed outright or starve because they can't compete for food.

I don't think they are any more or less hardy that regular jd's. they do however grow a lot slower than the regulars as IzzyD stated

Yea,....anywhere I have researched said that they are naturally in the wild. I have talked to someone that is raising them and has lots of pics the whole way through.

i was goin to say, EBJD are NOT dyed, it is just a color morph, i know nothing about yellow oscars, so i will not try to act like i do.

again I have to question your research wolf, I have seen many gold oscars that I know for a fact were not dyed, in fact produced gold offspring on many occasions.

Their colouring wouldn't really help them in the wild either considering how flashy they are. I think this would contribute to their numbers in the wild.

These kinds of oscars won't exist in the wild for these kinds of reasons.

1. They wouldn't survive in the wild coz there colors would aleret other big hungry animals with a big "Hey I'm open come and eat me "sign written all over them. Read about darwin's theory of natural evolution. Its survival of the fittest and these oscars would die out faster than any other Variant in the gene pool. It was stupid of me to ask if blueberry oscars were natural when I knew the answer to that question if i only thought about it longer.

In some extreme cases you might get those exceptions, but those kinds of offsprings would not survive for long coz they don't have the right tools to make it to adulthood.

Maybe dye is the wrong word, maybe some sort of in breeding is going on that allows these oscars to exist, but do you see them often? They simply put can't survive in the wild.

They aren't found in the wild no, most Oscars you see aren't from the wild. You'd be unlikely to find a wild albino for example, but there are thousands of those in captivity. The yellow Oscars are just line bred fish.

I think albinos are only found in Capivity. I''m not sure but I think there aren't any albinos in the wild. I think most oscars in the wild are tigers, reds, black/whites, veiltails (not sure either)
