i was wondering how long oscars can sulk for..? well the longest yours has.

my dads one when he first got it sulked for about 3-4days.

I had one Oscar sulk for around a month. I changed the room around his tank and he didn't approve. He refused food the whole time. I finally managed to get him eating again by dropping in shrimp pellets, aimed at his mouth. One finally dropped in is mouth, and he came around from there. He gave me quite a scare.

i started to give feeders at about 4"-5"



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.

yeh.
