my full grown oscar

[randy86]

Okay so my Oscar has reached about 14 inches in lingth and is in a 175 gallon tank with his long time buddy who us a jack dempsey and his big buddy pleco. But here's the deal here lately he has been really lazy and has been kind if listing if you will or rather kinda tilting on his did or not swimming In a straight up manner. I have heard that this is common but have never seen him do it befor. Does anyone else have tiger oscars that do the same or have a reason at to why they might do it

Mine do that all the time! How old is it?

I want to say that he is about 4-5 years old. I have had him since he was about 4 1/2 inches long. He seems healthy as ever he has just been doing his little lazy bit as of late!
