Oscar isnt eating or moving much

[OscarBA]

I recently did a water change, and totally changed the tank around, changed from sand to big pieces of rock. I was wondering if i should be worried or if there is anything i can do.

Thanks

Probably just sulking.

Have you checked your pH?

 

[Citrinellus]

Agreed, check your water params to be on the safe side. But, whenever something changes oscars tend to sulk and lay on their side.

 

[Pharaoh]

Agreed with above. Verify your water parameters, but he is most likely just sulking.

get used to this with oscars. They are, for lack of better term, big babies with gills.

if you change the tiniest thing around, sometimes even OUTSIDE their tank, it could annoy them, and cause them to not eat, not swim much, and generally have a fishy-fit. its one of the charms of being an oscar owner
