I just did a 50% water change on the tank, painted a black background, and re-arranged some of their caves I built.

My Oscars are NOT happy with me right now.

They won't even give me the time of day for food!

I'm assuming this is normal, right?

Sulking bastages!

I wouldn't worry, they are just behaving like Oscars do. When I carry out tank maintenance, they'll huddle together and are thoroughly p1ssed with me. Normally when I go to the tank they come to greet you, probably because they think they are going to get fed, that is all.

This is normal for oscars. My oscars dont like water changes or when i put my hand in the takn. When i change the water on my goldy tank they carry on as normal, they dont even move out of the way if i put my hand in the tank.

I do water changes in the evening, so i dont feed them before doing a water change, i feed them an hour or so after. Now my oscars act normal after refilling the tank

I find this strange ay, my oscar doesnt care when i do my change, he sorta has a bit of a skit when im moving the gravel vac, but then i put the hose into the tank to refil and he will start attacking the stream of water coming in, lol, such a tripper of a fish

This doesnt surprise me, my oscars dont like it when the water is draining out but they dont mind when the water is refilling.
