True Albino Oscar????

- Start date
One of the oscars I bought a year ago was marketed as an albino but it actually has some yellowish tint to it.
I don't know if I have any, I had the fish years ago, before I even got my first camera. I think my mom might have some old pics of it, but finding them would require a lot of digging through old files and discs.fobrinkle;3726670; said:
If you are referring to me, I know that, when I had albino O's, I had one albino with absolutely no orange/red (except in the eyes) and one that looked more like the one in the pic you posted. And the ones I have seen at the lfs have looked exactly the same as the "true" albino that I had.rED O;3739888; said:Even if he does start to show some orange, thats still a very nice oscar. I would buy it off you if you were closer.
and just to clarify, this is NOT a albino oscar ( for everyone saying they see albinos at there lfs all the time )
Unfortunately, I came home on Wednesday to this oscar being beat up by a pair of synspilum. It was near death when I found him. I moved to a hospital tank and treated with salt, 86 degrees and melafix. I woke up to a dead oscar today though. I tried. Very sad, he was great looking.
Sorry to hear
I bought one that was all white with red eyes. No stripes or patches at all. 1 month later, pink stripes started to appear. It's about 3". Sorry bout your oscar, hope you find another one.
