I have 2 Oscars I put in my tank on Thursday.... One of them seems to be dping fine but the other one wont come to the top to eat or anythong. Im wondering if I should put him in like a breeding box so he will see the food.... Or woll he snapp out of it eventually?

if you only put them in on thursday i would still give it some time before concern. if stange behaviour develops then maybe but if hes swimming fine, he will eat when he gets hungry enough.
 
They are notorious for not eating when they are first introduced. They can be little or big babbies sometimes and just give him some time and he will come around....what size tank they in?

It is a 220 gallon tank. Its got about a 6 inch arpwana in there and they are lik 2 or 3 inches. But he doesnt even swim really he jus floats around... The other on swims a Lil n then chills wit the not eatong one the whole time pretty much.... But thats what I dnt get. One eats n one doest
