oscar with odd coloration

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Goodness, it's not velvet, it's his coloring. Where would he have been exposed to velvet at? It's a quick killer (a few days) and chances are they'd all be dead by now if they had it. It doesn't just show up out of the blue-they have to have been exposed in the last few days in order to get it. It's his coloring. The black on the "Albino" is normal. He's not an albino, he's actually a Lutino-white with dark shading almost making them look dirty.
 
i read if a white oscar has black on its fins its not an albino.. because of the color pigment is that true?
 
thanks everyone thats great news I was really worried for a minute there you were all so very punctual too thanx again
 
The lemon is not a lemon. It is an albino tiger, or whatever the heck the real name is for them. It is not a lemon though. And they are both healthy.
 
agreed. i dont see anything wrong with any of your fish. i will also second that that is definitely not a lemon oscar. best of luck to you
