i recently put these 2 O,s in a tank i was wondering if the O in the background , was the right color, he seems to be more light grey then the black that i normally see oscars in? could it be he needs some time to settle?? stressed??

Its just that other images ive seem of other Oscars they look really distinctive orange/black not really light grey.
He seems to be swimming around fine and acting normal, hes pretty cruzy..

I can't see anything out of place myself. The fish looks perfectly okay. Just remember that not all Tiger Oscars will look exactly the same, coloration varies quite a lot

If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved

My Oscar becomes quite pale and light-greyish when spooked or stressed.
But it's a normal thing.
Our fish don't grow too big, our tank becomes too small!

great to know, they did get moved around a bit today,new home etc.. so i figured that might have been the reason, just need the confirmation!!

Unfortunately these O,s where sharing a tank with ALOT of other oscars , it was like a 2 foot tank...im assuming there was some hostility in there.
