My Oscar ate alot of floating pellets yesterday and no he isn't acting well he lays on the bottom more than usual and seems to have his tail higher than his head a small amt of BM is coming out of him this morning,he just isn't acting well at all
if anyone wants to add their thoughts on why he is acting this way I would be happy to hear from you

Maybe he's a little constipated/bloated, I'd simply just fast him for a few days and see how he acts then. I assume the water conditions are good?

I agree, he is probably constipated from eating so much at one time.
