Help i have an oscar in my 75g and i went to my local chinese market and they had yellow eels... so i decided to snag one, once i put it in my tank it went crazy now my oscar is now staying low... i think he may be stressed and i don't want him to die.... he's an awsome fish who comes up to the surface and begs for food. Will he be fine?

i wouldnt put fish from a market in a tank because they could carry desesies and parasites.
i would do a good water change and wait about 24hrs befor making any drastic changes, however oscars will wallow or as you described it "staying low" for a period of time if a tankmate is added or thier enviroment is changed.
if you dont feel safe with the eel in there then maby remove him, but only if you realy feel it nesacery.
