I have 3 huge Oscars a year old next month.. I have a red one named Pumpkinhead, a Albino named Al and my big orange one named Spidey. I love my fish , I feed them pellets and live .. you know .. Well the last 2 times I have fed them I get 25-30 feeders everytime, Spidey or Pumpkinhead niether one will eat at all.. None of them. Al is the only one, he ( I think a he.. ) eats like always. I am worried about my other 2 . I feel like they are sad or something, I moved 2 weeks ago. I have caught Pumpkinhead clearing out an almost perfect circle out of the rocks on bottom and he or she, hmmm... Well Pumpkin and Spidey have been lip locking, and Pumpkin often like attacks Al, he is the smallest.. They have all grown together and been together since they were babies.. So I dont know, I would maybe like some suggestions why there not eating..

thats the information that was in the other post.

first question, how big of a tank do you have? for three O's it should be pretty darn big.

it sounds like two of your O's might be mating although i have never witnessed this personally from what i've read rock clearing can be a sign of mating, if they are mating territory may have become an issue but why only one is eating i don't know, and just fyi this post might get moved because not eating isn't an emergancy i don't think.

HI polar, and welcome to the forum.

Never worry about taking up space in a post. With any fish problems the more infor the better.
As Gothic refered to the most important fact we need is your current tank size.
It does seem to be a possible pairing off of two of them. If that is the case then, the odd one out will have to be moved or else it will be picked on, eventually by both the other two, possible untill death.
The other possibility is the tank is just to small and it is a territorial issue, again in that case, one will have to be moved out.
In my experence with Oscars, odd numbers just never seem to work out, unless you have a large tank, 150 gallons or better, and even then, sometimes it still happens.
Post back, and let us know the tank size, feeding schedual, your water quality tests, and cleaing schedual, don't worry about the post length......
