so i have 2 albino oscar cichlids in my tank and the one.. he loves eating everytime he sees me going for the food hes there.. but the other one i have yet to see him eat anything.. he just sits there and doesnt even pay attention to anything? are there types of fish eating disorders or what? but he must be eating because he's been alive for about a week now..

First... fish can survive for more than a week without food, so don't assume he's eating without seeing it.
What are you feeding them? How long have you had them (assuming a week)? How big are they? What kind of filter do you have on that tank? What are your parimeters? How often do you do water changes? Is he actiang any different other than not eating? Is the other oscar picking on him at all?

i'm feeding him hikari cichlid gold pellets.. i have an aquaclear filter pushing out 200 gph, pH is about 7.7 or so nitrites/nitrates are zero ammonia is 0, i havent done a water change yet i'm going to do one tomorrow.. and the only other thing different is that unlike the oscar he doesnt swim around like at all and no the other oscar does not pick on him they're good buddies another thing is that his skin looks a lot whiter than the other one it doesnt look natural like it used to i dont know whatsup with that
