black oscars

[bentnewt]

i bought oscars that i thought were tiger oscars but they are all black now?
the only time they arent black is in the morning when i turn the lights on then they get brown stripes. what kind are they?

How big are they??? I have kept 3 tiger oscars*still have) and both of the Red tiger oscars would get "colorless" from about 5in to 7or 8inch then they turn into this. First pixc is of oscar at 6inch and Second is of my other oscar at 91/2inch and third is my Albino cutie who has been suprisingly Beautiful her whole life

They are probably stressed out. Give them a few weeks and their colors should return to normal.

The young ones lose thier color when freaked out

Most likely they will turn out to be Tigers.

try feeding them color enhancing pellets. it will bring out their best color
