hi could you give us reading on your water, did you cycle your tank before adding your oscar, what size tank do you have, also what filter are you using xxxx

now not to be rude, but why is the tank so murky and dirty looking?
We need those results for ammonia-nitrite-nitrate and pH!
How often and how much water do you change at a time?
waht did you do with your fillters after the tank change?
Were there any fish in the new tank with the filters?

the fact is that all the food is going down and it is making the water dirty...as it is not eating...i actually changed around 25% of the water at a time.i will do that every two weeks.... i have put a new filter in the tank....
would u mind giving me some tips on changing and cycling the water.
i love my oscar but i dont really know the proper way of giving it a proper environment... so it is much appreciated that you are helping.

I'm sorry but that tank is totally unsuitable for that fish...the ammonia lvls must be massive in that little tank if your only doing 25% every two weeks ...effectively its poisoning the fish being in that tank..

conclusion ...you need a new tank of at least 55 gallons ASAP
