Oscars love to sulk. Normally changes cause it. My current oscar sulked/acted sad when I, changed his food pellet brand, moved him to a new tank, removed certian tank items for cleaning, added/removed tankmates, and so on.

It should only last a few days if that.

What was the reason for the seperation?

Tank was too small 75 gallon and they are starting to fight alot.

Did you try feeding them a little more? Alot of the aggression is cause by food competition. Being that there oscars you could throw a side of beef in the tank and it wouldnt fill them up =P

I think the issue was space related not food they are too big to both be in a tank that size one is 10" long and the other is 8"
