I bought 2 baby tiger oscars about 1.5 months ago and i just noticed they have little white pieces of skin hanging off of them (not alot just a few here and there). i know its not ick could they be fighting?

agree with the pics.
If they are picking at each other (or get spooked for some other reason) they could also have cut/scratched themselves on something in the tank (rock, wood, filter intake, etc.). Still, seeing it would make it a lot easier to help.

well i just noticed theres like little bites so i guess if it keeps going on im going to sell them back to the pet store.
What size tank are they in? If they're in too small of a tank they might have troubles tolerating each other. I wouldn't jump the gun and sell them, if the tank is too small that might be your problem, or a target fish might be the answer if your tank is big enough.
It is absolutely, positively NOT good for 2 oscars.
I dont know how old you are or what experience you have with keeping fish, but that is a terrible answer without more explanation telling exactly what you mean. A 90g is BARELY sufficient for 1 mature adult Oscar...so I dont know how anyone could think it would work for 2. If you mean at 1-5 inches, it could work...but why get fish you cant keep long term?
