Stress will do it.

I purchased an Oscar from a "mixed Oscar" tank at a LFS last week.
When purchased, it was about 1 1/2 inches long, silvery white with
light orange irregular vertical stripes. Two days after being in the
pond with the other fish, it turned black with silver veining, like a
rock. Do some kinds of Oscars change color depending on their
surroundings?

Thanks,
Nicole
