Blueberry Oscars?

Hmm, you've restated your position that these fish are not albinos, but with
no explanation. If they lack melanin due to a genetic mutation, then they
are albinos.

You're correct that I have no explanation, because I don't know the
history of the color variation. The breeding of the Red Oscar and some
other varieties is well documented, but these white Oscars (from my
viewpoint) suddenly appeared, and no one in the newsgroups or any
aquarists I am in contact with can trace their beginning. So, you
might be right that they are true albinos. I don't *think* they are,
but I may be wrong. I'd be interested in hearing from someone who has
bred an "albino" Oscar with another color to see what color(s)
resulted ---
