morning everyone, anyone...
i was hoping that someone would be able to shed some light on what i might be able to do to save my new juvenile tiger oscar.
purchased him Saturday evening, the 5th...and he seemed fine for awhile in his new tank, and quickly took a turn for the worse...he has not eaten, he barely moves around and is nearly on his side sometimes...
should he be taking this long to get over the change in living arrangements from where i purchased him ?
any advice would be appreciated...

how long has your tank been set up and also what are your water readings ammonia nitrite and nitrate.if you post these it will be easier to help in diagnosing what your prob might be
Warning..I will offend you at some point!!!


my goal is simple a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all

Oscars can take a week or so to get settled and be confidant in a new tank.

However if your tank and filter were not set up right then your oscar will have problems from poisoning which maybe be what you are seeing. That why you need to tell us how long the tank has been set up for and the test results for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate
