Hi guys.

I bought this tank going back a few months ago, it has 4 oscars a pair of red devils and multiple catfish, it's a 7ft x 2ft x 2ft i know a tad over stocked but i keep up with my water changes, anyway that's beside the point, since i have had him, i have only seen him eat a algae wafer here and there, that's it, hes never come to the top for a pellet, blood worms, meal worms or even prawns, just wondering what i can do? he's a big boy, 30cm+!

My main source of pellet is Hikari gold (my oscars love it like nothing i've seen)

But yea just seeing what advice i could be given to change this?

Thanks MFK!

Massivore is too big for most of your fish. I would recommend NLS large fish formula for your rd's and the jumbo formula for your other fish if they prefer floating pellets.

I use normal trout chow to stuff my Oscars mouth before dropping in some *sinking* Hikari gold for the other fish in my tanks. I have a red devil now but he's not quite big enough to fend off the tank mates I want to put him with, he DEVORE's Hikari sinkers!
