oscar with odd coloration

pics will help. every oscar seems to have differant coloration. they come looking about anyway you could imagine an oscar to look. so post pics so a diagnosis can be made.
I agree it's not a good idea to put chemicals/Meds in the tank unless absolutely necessary...
Oscars do come in not only a wide variety of color forms but a wide variety within each form. They also can change considerably over time...
If you are worried about the Oscar, do extra water changes... If you want better advice as to it's health, post pics...
Best of luck with the lil guy

Can you get any better pics? It does look like velvet but I could be wrong....
Then again it looks normal at the same time. I've seen oscars with pretty odd coloration.

Both oscars look fine to me. My white tiger oscar has the black edging on his fins. Just the coloration.
