If gravitational force is strong enough, light itself is affected by the gravity. The gravitational force of a black hole is so intense that light cannot escape from it. No light, nothing to see. It appears as a "black hole".

Are black holes invisable?

Yes and no. It is rather hard to explain, because black holes are so dark and black that no living creature can see them, which in a sense makes them invisible, but you can also see where a black hole is because it sucks in light, too, so that would also, in a sense make it visible, but the my main answer would be, no black holes are not invisible.

Would black holes made of dark matter seem different from other black holes?

I think that's unlikely. The only relevant features of black holes are its mass, electric charge, and rotational momentum. What makes dark matter different to baryonic ("normal") matter is that it doesn't interact with normal matter, except through gravity - so it seems that none of the differences would be relevant, once such matter is converted to a black hole.


Why cant you see black holes?

Due to light being unable to escape the black hole, we cann't see it! It's like trying to see in a dark room with a flashlight, that has dead batteries. You cann't see the light because their is none to reflect.
