That's what it looks like to me. A few days ago there was a pic posted of an oscar with it and someone posted a link. i'll try to find it.

sorry it took so long, computer problem!
The gallery moderator gave this link to the other person that was having problems. It shows pics and it might tell you how to treat it.

Did you check out that link? What do you think? I'm not an expert, but it looks like the same thing.

this is NOT HITH. more like a sore he had that is healing up/to a little infection as that redness indicates..
I dont' know where this is on the Oscar.. So maybe a better pic is needed.

www.oscarfishlover.com best site for oscar info.. but i wouldnt think it is b/c it would be deeper and close to the head/eyes when it first begins but to be safe i would just increase tank maint. :)

Just clean the tank/filter good and do at least a 40% water change.. IF U have not done so in 4 days.. Keeping the tank cleaner is the key and good food with high vitamin content. Vitamin C, B-12, B-6 ect..
