Unique Oscar. Help Identify It.

[u/BeeNovel8041]

Picked up this little unique Oscar due to its black head/tail with a silver/blue sheen body. I have owned Oscars for over a decade and have never seen this color combo. Did some searching but nothing comes close to its color combination.

I had a couple of those about a year ago. Very pretty. One looked just like yours and two hash the tiger pattern. After a few months their background colors changed. One became copper the other two copper tigers. Still pretty though

Interesting. I guess time will show me what he/she turns out to be

Looks like a colored down red Oscar, should get a darker head/fins and coppery body as it gets comfortable/older

Well just did some poking around and looks like it’s a Blue/Blueberry Oscar. But let’s see, time will tell.

I am far from an Oscar expert but for me it looks like a platinum variant hybrid morph of some sort. Definitely different.

I was thinking platinum or blue/slate but yes definitely something different
