Welcome to the community

Can you post a photograph? Is this coloration change permanent? It is quite normal for fish to change color, aggression, stress, illness, breeding will often result in a fish changing color. However, a fish shouldn't change color completely unless it is maturing, in that case, many fish to change color as they get older. Normally, young fish are a completely different color, they normally have camouflage type colors. Anyway, if you can take some photographs, I'm sure we can help you

how do i upload a piccy from my computer

This is common in albinos as they grow. My friend who had a couple of albino tigers (orange stripes) when they were small but as they grew they got more and more orange on them until they were full grown they looked like albino reds (or orange). As your oscar is 9 months this sounds about right to me

thanks for that. Puts my mind a bit at ease.
