I'm a total Oscar newbie but it seems that I've seen already 5 or 6 variants of wild oscars that all have their unique name in Chinese.

The all black ones are beautiful. I tried years ago to search down a certain wild type of O that had super red bellies. I don't remember exactly where they originate from but beautiful Os also
