Albino Oscar turning Blackish Gray

[Guest Guest_agfo]

Does anyone know why my albino oscar would be turning a dark gray and not growing much. He is young, about 2-3 inches and the water is perfect. I feed him a varied diet that is recommended for oscars. It is not ich and it is not fungus. I just dont know what to do.

Get some food that contains color enhancers. Stop using cheap wal mart food and by tetra or hikari staple. Simple as that. Make sure you test your water for ammonia and nitrites.
