Albino Oscar Wont Eat?! Why?

[jdroz]

Hey...
I have a Convict cichlid, and the albino oscar in the tank, as well as a pleco. I recently treated my tank with ICK medication, and all my fish are doing well and eating except my Albino Oscar. I raised the temperature up the other day, but didnt have any effect on him. He was eating before and during the ICK treatment, but not anymore. I feed them Mealworms and red sinking Oscar pellets. nothing else has changed in the tank.

So, why is he not eating anymore?

I just noticed for the first time that the convict and the albino are fighting for a few seconds, just now. I have seen my convict go after the pleco, but not the albino, could this be the cause of my oscar not eating? if so, will he eventually eat if hes hungry enough?

Thanks guys, im kinda new at having Oscars and Cichlids, so all the help the better. They really are beautiful fish!

you might get more of a response if you post in the Oscar/cichlids section.

I had four Oscars a while back, they got a personality all of there own, like teenagers they can sulk, go off there food and mine loved having the others to play with.

So he could be bored and want a play mate, mine loved Blood worms, well all fish I have had loves them, mine loved playing in sand and messing up the tank. Could try hand feeding him BUT watch as I used to do it and once had my finger down his mouth.
