Or he's just not hungry enough to eat. When was His last feeding? Since you fed him protein rich foods lately, he may still be digesting. and digesting....

about one week ago i began using melafix to repair a torn fin.he did not eat during the treatment.the treatment ended today and i gave him 5 small rosy red minnow feeders from my quarantine tank.i know today he did not eat most likely because of the feeder feeding, but what i dont get is his not eating during the melafix treatment and i want to make sure its normal.he is approxiamately 6 inches so how long could 5 feeders fill him up for?like how long do i wait to feed him again?i have always bought TetraCichlid cichlid sticks i never changed.

well it could be that the meds made him a little stressed. thats weird cuz oscars are pigs and will always eat. just give him some time and he can live for like a week.
