In my 150 gallon tank i have 1 Albino Oscar, 1 Green Terror, 1 Jack Dempsey, and 2 Parrot Fish. The Oscars fins have turned black and his body has turned gray. There is still some white on him and he is acting normal, I was wondering what the problem could be. Thanks for your info, Chuck.

Doesn't sound like any disease I'm familiar with. It is however pretty common for a cichlid to change color depending on a lot of things. This includes mood, temp, breeding, hunger plus other reasons I'm sure I'm not thinking of.
