what are you trying to feed it? how big is it? it may be stressed from the ride home and acclimation. i wouldn't worry too much sometimes they need a couple of days to get used to it's new surroundings. i would try it on some frozen brine shrimp maybe also if it's big enough maybe some feeder fish. they love the thrill of the chase. i'm new to saltwater but kept oscars for several years ( till they got too big for my tank)

also keep a variety in their diet.
