Why do oscars act so wierd?

[G.O.A.T.]

Since i bought by tiger oscar i noticed he lays on the bottom alot and kinda wobbles side to side and lays on his side too. Why do they do this.

 

[G.O.A.T.]

is this common?

Sometimes they get bored and do pointless things to entertain themselves.

Yeah, its just upset and settling in most likely. Im guessing that you recently got it and it will come around in no time.
