Is my O the only one who changes his colors to a 'camouflage' and stalks around the tank ambushing imaginary bugs? It's like one minute he's orange and olive/gray, responsive and needy. I turn around a few minutes later and he's totally tuned me out. He's got these black stripes and gray circles on his head and he's just transfixed on...nothing. My wiggling finger gets no response. He just sort of comes out of it slowly on his own after a minute or two. Or sometimes he'll slurp the surface loudly like when he eats a cricket. I guess it could be something he learned in the wild...
In what I call his (her?) 'sneaky' mode, his fins are erect and he breathes normally. Nothing seems wrong here, I just wondered if anybody else's Oscar does this.

While i was able to buy a new heater and fix his filter for his tank.
He must have thought he was the biggest one! Or maybe it was a parental thing?!
