its all along the top of her if you let it load it goes normal size and you can see it perfectly where her top fin meets her body.

Ok Sorry. I don't know what that is. Keep trying.
Try resizing the photos to 800 pixels maximum and upload them again.:)

How long have you had the Oscar? At times with changes in food or as a fish grows it will lose some color. In addition Oscar lose color on their hump as they grow. In the picture it appears the discoloration continues below the dorsal fin which may be from growth as this fish does grow very fast. You will see this along the stomach as well as it may turn an off white and then return to a brighter color. Being you have an albino strain you will have some off colorations as growth continues. Use the high end food to promote the max color the fish will provide.
Good luck.
