I just put him in there hes just sitting at the bottom. I acclimated him. I cycled the tank. Whats wrong?

Make the room as dark as possible, let him adjust to his surroundings.

 

[orandafan12]

Yeah hes moving a little more

What are your parameters?

I would just do a blackout oscars are prone to mope/pout.

So true.
Oscars can be huge drama queens.

It's an oscar. End of story! I have 3 in one of my tanks ! If you didn't know them, you would think they were dying everyday. They swim sideways, play dead, float belly up, one does headstands.
Just keep it dark and wait

Oscars are simply not "normal"

Looks like you've already gotten your answer. But I'll just add my own experience.

My oscar did the same thing when I moved him to his bigger tank. Also every time I do a PWC he goes to the bottom and just sits there. Give him 10 minutes and he's back up and at it.

I think your oscars fine

hows it behaving now? better?

my new ones been in there 4 hours now and is as active and happy as my other fish. i had the lgihts off for an hour then added it, feeding my fish so they were distracted. but i bet he/she cant wait for the 60 to come!!

[orandafan12]
