My Oscar Need Help

[LILTIM88]

Hey I just got me a Oscar yesterday for the fish store for $28 nice size too. Well he has been in there for about a full day but wont move around when you go up to the pond. He goes to hind under a rock or where ever he can. Now in the store he was crazy jumping out of the tank. Is this normal or is he still getting use too the pond and everything?

He's just getting used to you man, give him a few days, a week tops and he should be fine.

Oscars sulk its common when introducing to a new environment. 28 bucks for an oscar? Wow expensive!
