Oscars being stupid

Too many water changes, that many is unnecessary. Doing this may even cause them to start getting scared of you.
Thanks again all. No change yet, but I at least now know they should improve with time. I change water so often because I plan to have Discus soon and just want to have it be a habit before I start. I figure if I'm going to change one I may as well change all. I have 5 tanks, 75g (soon to be a Discus tank), 55g Ciclid tank, 45g sevurum tank, 12 shrimp & Tetra tank, 5g Beta tank. The Oscars are not acting skitish or any thing like that. Water changes doesn't seem to stress them out.
Well, this is interesting. I put some feeder (whitecloud) fish into one of the tanks. Oscar went nuts. Total seek and destroy mode. I used the whiteclouds to pop my 45g and they grew up nicely. Wish I was able to get them that size from my LFS. I hate feeding with gold fish, but it might be what I need to do to get them to stop sulking. Or I guess I could grow out some more white clouds in the 45 again.
