Hi,
What did you want to know?
Hi...ya you can just refer to my posts.First I needto know the exact Id of my Oscars. My Oscars are too shy to come out and take food, they just sit beneath the filters. Even I feed them pellets they are just omitting them.
How long have you had them? When oscars are first introduced to a new tank they can sulk a bit and won't eat.This is more common with adults than juveniles. If they are fairly new I wouldn't worry they normally come round eventually.
If you have had them for a while and this is new behaviour, then check your water parameters to see if all is well there.
Finally if the stomach is somewhat emaciated then treat for worms/internal parasites.
Hope this helps.

I just got them two days around so as you said may be their regular mannerism but what about that sunken stomach. Whether it might be due to their feeding habits?
It could be due to them being on temporary hunger strike or it could be more sinister.
I would treat them with a broad range medication for internal parasites and worms.
Have you been offering them any other foods?

I just t feed him hikari gold as of now. I thought of giving them some dried shrimps but I am not sure about it.
What is the best medication for killing internal parasites for Oscars???
Try them on something live (not fish) small earth worms are hard for mist oscars to resist.
Fish are very tempted by things that wriggle.
