I recently purchased an albino oscar and have had him for 3 days now. I
have a 50 gallon tank with 2 firemouth cichlids, another oscar, 2
danios and one redtailed shark. They are all relatively the same size,
all are approx. 2-3 inches. However, the albino oscar hasn't eatten
anything and was sitting in the corner of the tank near the top. I have
run all tests on the water and it is perfect. What should I do?

Wait and see what happens... he's either sick or stressed - either way,
unless there are any visible signs of illness, there's little you can do.

If he's spooked by The Others all you can do is remove him.

Best of luck with the danios.

Live food. Throw in a dozen guppies and see him come to life.
