Keep the water healthy, keep feeding a good pellet, and alternate daily snacks of frozen blood worms and freeze dried shrimp. You could feed the frozen beef heart fish food, as well, but I think the blood worms are closer to something they would actually eat in nature. Sure, if a baby mouse somehow fell out of a tree in the amazon, an oscar might very well eat it, but that doesn't necessarily mean its good for it, or even digestible. I don't think their stomachs were designed to digest mammal bones the way a snake's stomach is...
With Oscars, though, pretty much as long as you keep it alive, it will be growing about an inch per month for the first year of its life.
If you want fastest and healthiest growth, feed several times a day and do several water changes per week, and avoid live food, and adding new fish or plants that could introduce disease or parasites.
