He has a lil bit of orange and the edges of his fins are darker but overall hes grey.... Ive had him for a few months n it seems this is his natural color... Is that possible?.... N dnt say hes stressed cause hes not my water is perfect and he is growin eatong swimming in the open so I know hes not stressed... But can they be grey?

Do you have a picture of it? The varieties closest to wild colored are not particularly red...probably nothing wrong with your fish health wise
 
It's probably a regular tiger with light dark skin (lol) or it could be a "wild" type.. What ever it is trust me you don't have a "new" oscar..
 
Yes, I've seen several perfectly healthy gray oscars. In my limited LFS experiences, they always top out at 10" or less, and there's something a little different about the finnage or body shape, if I recall. I'd have to see them in person to know what I'm talking about again...

Its kinda hard to see but the dot on his tail is real dark with a orange circle round it but the rest of him is that real light grey color... Im jw im not worried about what kind he is or anythin I jus wonderin if anyone seen this before or if there even are grey ones cause if there arent I got the first one :)

No, too dark. Normal tiger Oscar, there. Looking at his body I'd guess he has potential to get HUGE.
 
I bought an oscar at about half an inch, grew it to about 3 inches and gave it to my friend, its now at about 7 inches and growing. Started with zero orange but got more as he grew, still not alot. For pics pm ajtennis

Yes, it's a lovely Oscar and should get more orange as it grows. You can probably also look forward to the coveted olive head color.
 
What u mean too dark lol when I look at him he grey he was kinda in a dark spot tho... But ya got the small ones from petsmart 2 of em 24 minnows at least once a week... Freeze dried krill meal worms and crickets... Pluse med chiclid pettets and tropical flakes.... They on a good diet id say lol.... the flakes are more for the angels and the krill is for the aro but shystie oscars steel some every now and then lol.
