Anyone know if Oscars are smart enough to know what "NOT" to eat? My young one (~5") turned up flat on his side at the bottom of the tank yesterday morning, but still alive. The evening before he appeared gorged like I've seen him before, as if he'd eaten several minnows at one meal. At the time I assumed at least one of the smaller tank-mates was had for dinner, but yesterday's morning roll call showed all present and accounted for, with the Oscar flat on the bottom.
Water is good and nobody else had any problem. He did not appear to have any injuries, and by this morning seems to have fully recovered. WTF?
