I'm wondering if your oscar might be a female and what you're seeing might be the ovipositor. if the oscar is around the 6-7" mark then that might just be what you're seeing. just in case that's not it though, how often and how much do you feed the oscar? also, how often do you do water changes and how much at a time? if you can answer these questions it will help to get a better idea what might be going on.
