sorry about the pic but he is very active tonight lol. you can actually see the spots real well on the left of the pic though:)

Maybe a sign of fin rott?

My first red Oscar had something almost identical. I think it just went away in the end without the need for medication. If I was going to hazard a guess, it looks a bit fungal. Try a fungal medication and see if that helps.

i was thinking fungel. i had a molly with this a while ago and it did just go away eventually.
if it gets worse or seems to annoy him i will treat it but it doesnt seem to at the moment..

thanks:)

Oscars can get these spots on the fins. They dont seem to be a problem and often go away on there own. My personal opinion is they are something to do with thickening of the fin, similar to some skin problems people get
