Getting Tiger Oscar to swallow food

[ozzydafish14]

I think I'm proud to say I have a 1 year old tiger oscar named ozzy that is on the road to recovery for his HITH! He has 100% of his appetite back, but the problem is when he goes to eat a pellet, he holds it in his mouth for a few moments and it floats out of his mouth in one piece...

are the pellewts what you normally feed him? if not,they may be too big or he may not like them,try feeding the same food,but smaller. if he still doesnt eat then,just feed him the pellets on yout normal shedule,he'll eat when hes hungry enough

Starve him for 2-3 days then try again, oscars overtime can become picky eaters.

Aahh, okay, I'll see if that works

At least he doesnt pout in the corner anymore

Like I said in your other post they are hands down the most dramatic fish when it comes to change, they will sulk and stop eating for days on end.
