What should I do My tiger oscar lost a part of his top fin..

I read in a number of places my turtles and Oscar would do well with each other.. well I looked in the tank and a part of my Oscar top fin is missing . He is swimming find but should I do anything to treat it .

This fish is crazy as well. I make sure to feed him on one side of the tank and my turtles on another side .. and he would swim over to the side with the turtles and steal there food. I hate to blame the victim but I think that could be the reason he was Chompped.

Sad thing is I hate feeder fish and I could have term a 13 dollar fish into one.

Could we see a picture?
Also, don't feed him feeder fish, they rarely eat any fish in the wild, they eat more fruits ect... then fish.

Image is broken for me, but I'm sure it should heal, just do a bit more water changes and use a good tap water conditionner.
