| i just got 3 adult oscars, and one adult jack dempsey, into my 110gal, tank, they were rescued from someone that no longer had the time for them, well, they do not eat very much, and leave food floating, as well as they do not eat the feeder goldfish in the tank, actively, but there does seem to be a decrease in feeder fish, i guess what i am asking, is, is this normal, | |

| how long have you had them, alot of the time when you move a fish like that, they're so stressed out they won't eat for 2-3 days then they'll return to normal

| Could also be diet. The person who gave them to you might of only fed them one type of food . This could last 2-3 weeks. Try bloodworms with garlic guard. Healthy non stressed fish usually go nuts for it. | |

| I just picked up two oscars 10 to 12 inches I put them in a 150 gal aquarium with another 12 inch Oscar she's never been to aggressive but when I put those other ones in there she became pretty lively she's not really attacking them shes more pushing them around | |
