Are they full grown?
 
Some people are cross breeding cichlids and the results lack black lines on the dorsal fin.
 
Here is my mated pair. I say mated rather than breeding pair because they haven't spawned, as yet. The Albino Oscar stole the Tiger away from another Red Oscar last year so I'm hoping they'll settle down and lay some eggs soon.

Nice what do you do with the fry?
Nothing yet. They have yet to spawn. I have had pairs before though. I usually take the rock or slate they spawned on out and place it in a 5 gallon bucket with an airstone in front with the slate placed at an angle so the bubbles flow up the eggs to keep them from fungusing. I have a special octagon shaped piece of ceramic tile with a hole in it. A strap tied to the hole lets me pull the tile out with the eggs on it without being bitten by the parents. Microworms, Babybrine shrimp and Daphnia are good first foods.

It could be a genetic defect. I had one not quite that bad years ago. I called him Popeye. I have a Lutino Oscar that when he was about 4 inches long, jumped out of the tank when I went to feed. From four feet in the air he landed about 7 feet away. I just picked him up, put him back and thought nothing of it until I noticed a week later that his mouth was crooked. Still a good looking fish and you have to really look to see it but his face looks like it's pushed to one side.
