ive just googled black oscar fish and come up with........its possible but very rare....:22:

yeah it could be possible but rare like angelcakes said.

If you did see one i suppose you couldn't really say you have unless it was fully grown as any younger oscars might not have their full markings yet.

The wild O's don't have any orange on them but they still have a mottled color their not all black but anythings possible.
