 My lazy oscar

Im having problems with one of my oscars. They are in a 30 gal they are no more then 3in big and all one of them does is lay on the bottom. I keep thinking he’s dead to be completely honest with you. I’ve had them for about a month now and he has always done it. Please help me figure out why he does this. Do fish really play dead?

Its most likely stress. No need to be worried. I hope you plan on getting a larger tank. Oscars need atleast a 75 gallon.
