found this
'Blueberry/Raspberry Oscars. You can also find blueberry and raspberry oscars upon occasion. Both these varieties are actually albino oscars colored with dye. The dye completely disappears within three months. You then have a regular albino oscar.'

there are also pictures of them on this link: http/aqualandpetsplus.com/Cichlid,%20Osc...Chapter%203.htm near the bottom of the page

I think that some blueberry/Raspberry Oscars can e extremely pretty, but that dosent mean that they should be injected with poisinous dye's and so fourth. I people really wanted blueberry oscars, they could try to selectivley breed oscars until they have the desired color. I am Proud to say that my lfs( my fav by the way) has stopped selling all dyed fish.
