Oscar???

[DillonMcCain]

I have 2 oscars in a 75 gallon tank. One is a red. The other is albino. They are about 4.5". The red oscar has been acting funny lately. It has become quite "large" and sits on the bottom sometimes for no reason at all. The oscars had stayed together for as long as I can remember. Now it seems as if they can't stand each other. What is wrong with my oscar?

What do you feed? What are the water parameters?

 

[DillonMcCain]

Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 5
pH: 7.6

I feed them Hikari Cichlid Gold, and Hikari Cichlid Staple. Twice a day.

Ive heard of oscars laying on the bottom sort of resting. Its known as sulking.

If it looks bloated? It may be constipated.. Try feeding shelled peas..
