I can see the outline but that does not tell me how you got there. The border will be from anti-aliasing - semi transparent pixels at the border of the selection.
Is the purpose of this to color-in the cut and paste? One way is copy and paste as a new layer, and colour in that layer using alpha-lock. That makes sure that anti-alising is affected. Even if you do not colour in you can cut out those pixels in a number of ways. Alpha to selction, invert selection, grow selection a pixel or two, then cut.
One possibility for colour-in 40 seconds demo

...but give a bit more info on how you go about your edit Someone might have more ideas.

Hi Rich2005,
Thank you for always replying to my questions. My steps were: making path(around orange fish), creating a selection from path, cutting that path, then pasting that path as a layer. If you look closely at the orange fish, you will see a fine white border around it. This is really stands out to me and the picture and I believe the picture would look better with it removed. I am trying to have the fish maintain their color while making the rest of the picture black and white.
Also what exactly is anti-alising??? :/
Thanks again for the help!

Anti-aliasing are semi-transparent border pixels. I should not have really used that term here but you get these that show up as a faint line after a copy or cut.
I did see the faint line but I could not reproduce it, so I have to ask
Do these only show in Gimp but not in an exported jpeg or png ?
Is the line moving, aka crawing-ants ?
Does the line go away using
Select -> None

Hey Rich, I was able to resolve the issue by copying the image I selected instead of cutting it. Whenever I cut the image there was a border, but when I copied it, it ended up fine.
Thanks a lot for the help and clarification. Have a great weekend.
PS I am working on another picture that I need help on so stay tuned lol
Thanks again. u the goat
