Oscars acting odd

Question
hi, my brother bought a gold fish about two weeks ago,last night he bought two oscars and about fifteen rosy reds for the oscars.the first night he put the oscars and rosies in the 20 gallon tank the oscars just stayed in the corner with a plastic plant and ate some of the rosies,today they didnt eat anything, the gold fish used to eat the food i put in for him, now he just swims around the bottom.the oscars dont move and havent eaten anything for a while,do you think you know whats wrong with them?


Answer
Hi Tristan,
  The oscars are probably full. Plus they are probably pretty scared at being moved from one tank to another.  Give them some time to adjust.
