Hey billy boy, sorry couldn't resist lol.
Oscars have been known to 'sulk' (they don't eat hardly move and just do nothing basically) for days.Give him/her a couple of days and if it hasn't perked up something may be wrong, though I highly doubt it.
Just curious but how big is your tank? ;)

not to be rude or anything. but 180 liters is only 47 gallons. thats way to small for a oscar not alone more fish. for a oscar i recamend a mimuium of 55 gallons for terotrry and water to dielot waste. also thats bare miuinm for growing room. if you want aprrot fish with a oscar you need at least a 90 gallon tank

Hi bit of update on the oscar died this morning the 2 parrots were pecking and attacking it all night i tryed to section off but they still managed to get to him what would you recommend guys was gonna just stick with a parrot tank ?
 
just keep the parrot fish . you dont have enough room for a oscar.
 
your tank may not be big enough. Oscars can get up to 16 inches and parrots i dont think are small either.
