My new Rare oscar is sick

[Liam]

Hey Peoples I just got a pure white albino oscar and it just swam and fell to the bottom of the tank and backed itself behind the filter, I'm just wondering if the poor thing is sick?

It's probably just sulking. I've had mine lie completly sideways on the bottom before juring a sulk session.

Thanks mate, I got really worried, the oscar is 1 in 1000 chance of being born apparently

Then you should probably post pics before anyone gets excited.

Id think the chance of getting a true albino oscar would be lower than that considering they can lay hundreds of eggs in one spawn.

A bit hard to tell from the pics, but does look like the usual oscar sulk. Give him some time he'll liven up.

okely dokely, and how much " Time " will he stop sulking?

give him a few days to get used to your tank. i've had mine a few weeks and he's just now getting used to me.
