I separated my 2 oscars and treated them for hole-n-head(because one was getting so agressive) I have put them back together in their tank and they seem to be doing ok now except now they won`t eat,whats going on?

Fish will often not eat when they are stressed. Moving them around to different tanks and treating them are all stressful to them.
Ensure that the water quality is pristine (zero ammonia, zero nitrites, very low nitrates) and that they have the hiding spaces they need.
Then keep the lights low for a while and try to entice them with a variety of foods.
They should start eating in a day or two.

The previous post is right on the money. It's most likely just moving stress, Oscars are really susceptible to that. Just do as he advises and don't worry too much about it, they will come around in a day or two.
