That is what Oscars look like in the wild...
But no one should be suggesting or assuming that the specimen pictured is a wild Oscar... it's just not been line bred to look differently than they look in the wild...
"Wild Type" is the term used to describe what a species normally looks like in nature... "Wild Type" is what Duke33 & Citrinellus should have used to make their point... But this does not mean it was born in the wild...

Yes. We used to call them "green oscars", not that they were actually green. But wild type/wild phase O's were always called green when I was first in the hobby.
My favorite btw.

I didn't make a "point" I just read the title of the picture... Call me crazy but, if its called "wildOscar3" then I would assume its wild or I suppose could be "wild type". This is after all the internet, the photographer could have titled it convict4 if they wanted to. Besides the fact whether its wild or not does not differ the op's answer. Its still colored the same as a wild oscar.
