How long do you have him??? They sometimes take a few days to adjust to changes in their environment. Anyway, you might want to try some frozen krill or baby shrimp. That will snap him out of it. Trust me.
PS, my 14" oscar, who's name is Felix, sends his regards.

If hes a new fish then its natural for them to not eat, hes probably
to scared to eat :o) leave a bit of food in the tank for 2 hours and it will be gone :D. And if he is an old fish it might mean he doesn't like to eat in front of people so leave the room for 20 minutes and the food will be eaten :D good luck :D

Something seriously wrong here! Oscars are RULED by their bellies! Either you are feeding it the wrong food, or it is seriously ill...how big is it? if it is 2 inches or less, try live adult brine shrimp. If it is 2-6 inches, try live baby fish, or feeder guppies. If it is over six inches, try feeder goldfish. If this does not work, seek help diagnosing your Oscar for disease(s) and/or water chemistry problems!

try live anchovy or tiny baby shrimps....
if you fish is new is normal for it to undergo changes.
but if its old yours maybe it has disease or a feel of different.....
