I know they were popular a while back for when they were 'painted'

I have never seen an all white one...

All of the “albino” oscars I have seen have some orange blotches on them.

How big is your tank? Pretty fish.

Your not that guy your just wrong. Theres not a hint of black anywhere on this fish. Your seeing the wires behind the tank

Fair enough. It must be the photograph or reflection. On my screen it simply looks like he's got black on the tips and rays of his dorsal, anal and caudal fins.

Good, a 55g is the perfect size for one Oscar.

I agree with you, I don’t see any black on his fins. Healthy looking fish.

Im not sure. Maybe im wrong. Ive never seen one like him tho. His eyes are even red. Im not an expert tho. I think he was listed as a snowwhite oscar

Pretty sure I see some black. I circled the areas where the fins are black.

I’m just pointing them out. It’s weird that his eyes are red even though he has black but I suppose that just happens sometimes.
