2 weeks ago I got a 75 gallon tank on cregslist. it came with a 14 inch red oscar and a 10 inch asian upsidown catfish and a 14 inch pleco. the oscar rarley eats. only ate like 15 pellets he had a fight with the guy that got him out of the tank into the container. he has had all the fish for 2 years he has had all of them since they where babies too. I have tried turning off the light for a munite then quickly dropping the food in and running away. what do i do?
 
I agree , just let him be for a little longer ... My Oscar does this from time to time , sometimes even takes a mouth full of pellets and just spits them out to make a mess
 
So youve had it 2 weeks and it hasnt eaten...and its in a 75 with 2 other fish 10" & 14".

You sure dont know how to take advice do you. Why do you even post on here if you arent going to listen to what people tell you?

AGAIN, like 20+ other people told you in your other apparently useless threads, thats TOO MUCH fish for a 75 in the hands of a beginner that doesnt understand fishkeeping.

The oscar should be the only thing in there.

With that much food/waste in a 75, you should be doing 50% water changes 2-3x a week, which Id bet you arent.

Id also bet $100 you are way overfeeding and that your levels are through the roof.

GO back and RE-READ the threads you started weeks ago and see exactly what people said was going to happen to you has happened.
