Help large female Midas

[bjbartram]

Ok so we got this large female midas saturday night, she has been doing good. Today she looks like she is peeling. Is this normal is something wrong with her, what do I need to do. She is in a 125 tank with 2 red oscars and a tiger striped shovel nose everyone is getting along and no problems what so ever. I did see the Oscars fighting with each other on Sunday but that was one isolated event.

Plz help I don't want anything to happen to "Emily" my 5 yo daughter named her she is her fish.

What do you mean by peeling? Is the color fading to a white color? Or is the skin/scales coming off? Pics would really help.

what are your water parameters it could be just due to stress, add some salt, warm the water temp. up to about 82-85F.

DO A SMALL WATERCHANGE FIRST I FORGOT

Guys we can't tell what it is just by him saying it's "peeling". Pictures would really help. Do NOT just start throwing chemicals into the tank until we can get an idea of what's going on.
