your fish is a juvi is it not?

you've probably just spooked him a little when you shut the blinds, Oscars are big drama queens.

when i got my Oscar he threw a couple of tantrums shaking and swimming around really fast and biting the fake plants, then sulking for a bit, I'm pretty sure its normal behavior, nothing to worry about.

If you have pristine water you can relax, O's are funny fish sometimes

And can act very dramatic indeed!

I thought he was seriously dead, like he had a heart attack.
he seems normal now though

And yes is only a juvi, looks like the one as my picture

Your fish just panicked, dont worry, he will soon get used to your movements around the tank and will eventually see everything you do as food time even when it isnt
