I think you keep up the water changes and he be fine, I saw an oscar being an oscar. I hate to harp but do the do diligence and let him be a fish.

hows fishy this morning?
 
he is good, no eating yet, but a little more movement in the warmer water. The kent garlic extreme doesnt seem to be working, did a normal does in water, today and yesterday, doesnt say how often you can apply, super strong garlic smell! Going to do a water change early tonight after i get done with some chores, going to give him a blue bath too.
 
it is surprising how long they can go with out eating. 3 weeks not an issue for oscars, and they big drama queens. stick with routine, they are like autistic or Asperger kids. any thing off routine freeks em out and they go into the pouty thing. same with changing any decor.
 
This is a real piece of wood from a cherry tree, he has no decor, or any place to chill. Wondering whats safe to put in tank, figured id boil it first, but think maybe i should wait till he starts eating again?, so i dont bother him anymore?

Me? I would throw it in, boil it and throw it in.

he hung around in the blue bath for around forty minutes, put some pep in his step :) . Did a 90% water change, hopefully i didnt slow down cycling, think he was in there for 2-3 days, anyway to make a buyont log sink?
