my 2 oscars

Question
I just brought home 2 Oscars from Petsmart and they are just sitting to the Bottom of their tank. They are not swimming around or even chaseing the Feeders or even eating their Pellets. They look like they are Dyeing.

Answer
Hi Jean,
  It can take oscars quite a while to get used to a new home (weeks often).  

  I strongly discourage you from feeding them feeder fish. Feeder fish very often have parasites which easily transmmit to oscars.  Every week I get emails from people whose oscars are dying because they were fed with feeder fish.
