Please tell me you changed the water after the death of the first fish!
If water is good and your new oscar sits passively on the bottom for the first day or two, don't panic. Oscars have a tendency to be very 'shocky' fish. Keep the temperature stable - between 70 and 74F (72 is ideal), and he should shake it off. If he ignores food the first day, wait to feed him again until he is actively swimming around, which he should be by the end of the 2nd day or the 3rd day at the latest.

oscars are pretty tough, so you shouldn't have a problem. they can be aggressive. mine killed everything i tried to put in with it. it also moved a three pound chunk of glass around the tank when it felt like redecorating. i loved that fish! ( he has since gone to fish heaven ) good luck!
