CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

Just wanted to say I love the page, SO MUCH info.. But I have a question, thats how I ended up here in the first place.
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.. I dont know this site is GREAT !! So informational !

Thanx

Welcome to the forum
May want to post the question in the 'oscar' section. There may be various reasons for not eating, one could be some sickness caught from the feeders, maybe even parasites etc...try some salt in the tank, some meds etc and make sure water params are ideal and water very clean. You could try feeding shrimp or different kind of pellets etc...

Ok sorry it took awhile to reply I am SO busy.. but anyways .. they are in a 55 gal.. water is fine .. maybe to chilly..69-70 degrees, The 2 pumpkin and spidey still haven't eatin yet.. Little Al seems to be fine. Thanx so much for the feedback I will check back in a few hours to see if anything has posted.. THANX ! !

Yes, also try raising the temp slowly to about 79 or 80F.
