I have an albino oscar about two years old. The past couple of weeks he
has
been lying at the bottom of the tank, breathing slow, and
periodically swimming
around. He has a loss of apatite and his tailfin
quivers perionically. He is in
a 100 gallon tank with a 15 inch African
Knife fish, a 6 inch Pacus, a 12 inch
pleco, and a 5 inch Tinfoil Barb.
He was usually an agressive fish but he
drasticly calmed down and
developed some dark coloration in his fins. I have
tried feeding him
some greens with no luck. It doesn't appear that he is getting
any pits
in his head or lateral lines, any suggestions?

Sounds like a neural problem.

Have there been any changes to the tank? occupants, feeding, lighting?
anything? Mine would do something similar when he was sulking over
something he didn't like. After several days he would come around.
