Here is my new O, it's pretty much all white with a slight orange tint but that could change over time. Sorry for the bad picture, it's all I have for now as the lights are out for the night. $8 @ Petsmart.
If you want one really bad you could get a giant tank and start breeding till you get oscars that are white and you could call them snow oscars but that takes a lot of time energy and patience and money so its not an easy thing to do but if you did do it id definitely buy one lol

I've never known anyone on any forum I've been on who's ever even seen a true Albino Oscar. They're really rare. And there's no way you'd be able to know if it'd develop color later on unless it had red eyes, that'd be the sure sign.
My Tiger Veiltail isn't actually even a Tiger, she's solid black now with just an orange eyespot. Really cool color, I love how she looks. I've got 5 all of different colors. Couldn't decide so I did what the above poster said-started a color collection.
