I have 3 Oscars that have 3 different personalities
One of my Oscars does the same thing...
most of the time he hides in his log whenever anyone walks by
he is the most finicky of eaters
sometimes he comes to the top when I walk by if hes hungry
but sometimes I will put a krill in the water and walk away
and he will come to the top to get it
but I always make sure he eats it within a couple hours
or I will get the krill out of the water.
If you get the krill or cichlid sticks let me know
if tantrum eats them
Good luck to you and I think your fish will be just fine
