Default Weird Oscar Activity

I have an albino oscar about two years old. The past couple of weeks he
has been lying at the bottom of the tank, breathing slow, and
periodically swimming around. He has a loss of apatite and his tailfin
quivers perionically. He is in a 100 gallon tank with a 15 inch African
Knife fish, a 6 inch Pacus, a 12 inch pleco, and a 5 inch Tinfoil Barb.
He was usually an agressive fish but he drasticly calmed down and
developed some dark coloration in his fins. I have tried feeding him
some greens with no luck. It doesn't appear that he is getting any pits
in his head or lateral lines, any suggestions?

Sounds like a neural problem.
