Is the fish acting normally? Eating?

If it is, it likely just a fish that ate too much. Cut back on feedings for a few days and see how the fish responds.

Well I really have no clue what normal is both of these two fish are new to my tank little over a week but I also noticed some missing guppies. . . . . Maybe that's the reason? I will cut down on the food the next couple of days and see though

Normal behaviour would be what is normal to most fish. Swimming actively, eating, not gasping at the surface, no clamped fins etc.

The second picture you posted it just looks like it over ate. The fins are in a normal position and I see no discoloration. I'd be willing to bet that the missing guppies are the reason for this.

And just for the record I adopted the two Oscars and the earth mover from the person I bought the tank from

Ya, it's a good thing you moved them. African cichlids and South American cichlids don't really mix well together. Africans are much more aggressive.

I agree with Tiff, and also looks like you are feeding too much.
