maybe they were scared,..and maybe they are shy...! don't worry, just take a little time on knowing each other...just kidding...really, maybe they are only stressed or shocked. http://angelfishinfo-jaybee.blogspot.com/2010/09/acclimating-new-angelfish.html

Your Oscar hasn't settled in the tank properly and is showing signs of being moody. How large is the tank as for a 12" Oscar the tank should be at least 50 gallons and to keep the water quality high regular water changes must be performed at least 15 % weekly http://www.fishtankforum.co.uk
