The longest I have personally seen is permanent...He eventually died from bad care. They can sulk out of the blue also. The longest for me is a day or so. Another guy I work with says he has one that is sulking, and has been for almost a year..(bad care again/small tank)
5 hours. He was sulking after I changed that water but when it was feeding time he shot up from the bottom and started doing the hungry fishy dance.
My oscar sulks, I guess, but I would call it being more posh than sulking. He goes to the top slowly for food and all the fish get out of his way, the jag, snook, salvini, and he eyes a group of pellets and then carefully just sucks them into his mouth and swims away slowly.
He is far from the jumping-out-of-water-attacking-food oscar behavior, but thats how he has always been.
Its fine with me, saves me money on food for not being a pig.

My Oscar sulked for a week when i put a piece of driftwood in his tank. He wouldn't come near it or eat for a week, I guess he got over it eventually. Sometimes Oscars act like little brats when they don't have their way, but get over it just the same. Its just part of their little personalities.
My O sulked for about 2 weeks after being transferred to a 100g tank, but after he got over it he was back to glass-banging and food=splashing
