Well, congrats on your baby Oscar, first of all!

Can't say for sure of course but I wouldn't worry really yet. It's quite cool he's moving around so much, isn't it?
Every Oscar is somewhat different as we know, maybe you got a real curious or adventurous one now
I only know from my Oscar that he won't eat for a bit when he's moved to another tank or some major change around the tank, but still swimming and looking around. No baby anymore though.

However, good luck anyway!
If I were a guy, I\'d have probably needed only 30% of the amount of words to say this

This question is a common one. In the shop you just have to move your hand near the tank and they all come to the top in the hope of food and then you get them home and they stay near the bottom, or hide or dont eat. Your oscar is probably sulking and is unhappy due to the new surroundings. Give him a few days and he should be eating and showing normal oscar behaviour (acts like he hasnt eaten in a month and is so so sooo pleased to see you). If he is still like this after a week then you have something to worry about
I can't get no sleep

The easiest way is to go to www.photobucket.com creat an account and upload your photos. Then make sure to resize them to 'message board' after doing this you can click where it says 'IMG' and it will copy the like to your image then you just paste it into your topic like this -

Like they said, dont sweat it. When he's used to everything he'll be giving you the "Feed me dance" everytime you walk by or even look at him lol.
