oscars sulking

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
hi mbunafishkeeper, i love your jag and i wish i could get one!

my oscar seems to be sulking at the moment i had him for 1 day so far.
 
i dont know if my 2 were sulking but they stayed at the bottom of the tank for 3 days coming up slowly to get food and acting like they dont know me. went back to normal after i got them their heater. coulda been cold temp that made them unactive dunno.
 
yep ,the calikid reminded me when my oscar sulked, when i forgot to plug the heater in after a water change, i like to keep oscars warm 78 or more the better

ok kool. did your oscars eat while he sulked?

Mine hardly ate at all and if he did it was very little. But when i threw some feeder fish in he chomped them. Oscars never pass up live food.

I breed my own guppies to use as feeders so i know they are good quality, if thats what you're worried about. I use them as treats about twice a month. Now if they were my fishes main diet, that would be bad.
 
try earthworms
i think my O would eat worms even if he was out of water lol
