Oscar Wont Eat

[kribensis12]

I bought a 2.5 inch baby albino oscar. I saw the stor efeed him there and he ate. And he has been in my 55g for 2 days and refuses food. What could be wrong?

While it's settling and not eating, offer it frozen or live foods. Try the beefheart or get some bloodworm. My O didn't eat for the first 3-4 days when I got him.
