Thanks! I got real lucky with that pic.
Unfortunately its not looking good. A chunk of her dorsal fin is missing and the green texas' are taking shots at her. I think ill have to set up another temp tank for her.

My Oscar is was doing the same thing the last few days. I just moved him from a 55 to my 220gal and he's in with other SA's and CA's his own size or bigger. He's been submissive and swimming on his side or vertical whenever the Jag or Kraussi go to nudge or nip at him. He was an eating machine and didn't eat for the first couple days but as of today he's been accepted as part of their pack. He's swimming normal, begging, eating and sparring with my Texas again like they were when they used to be together.
In my experience most Oscars are a "bark is worse than bite" aggression but that a
said when pushed they usually feign a "loud enough bark" to ward off most aggressors...that and they grow fast and get big so they usually do ok with all but the biggest and most violent tankmates.
Mine used to get the crap beat out of him by the Texas and now he hold his own fine and is more concerned with what's happening outside the tank than inside.
Nice looking Os btw
Beef 'em up in the other tank and once the oscar is bigger should be fine 
Nice oscar, I like the markings. reminds me of mine a bit.
