I have 2 Oscars, each is about 4 inches long. I recently bought Massivore to feed them, how much should I feed them? It says to feed them as much as they'll eat in a couple minutes but that'd be alot of pellets, and it says each pellet is equal to 1.8 goldfish! So I have no idea how much I should feed them. How many pellets per day would you feed a growing Oscar? I would break it up into at least 2 feedings.

I personally would feed no more than 4 pellets for each, also just the smell from massivore will have you feeding minimum amounts to the baby Oscar's lol:)
 
OMG yes the smell. When I ordered the Massivore I also ordered some high quality food for my betta..it is amazing how much worse high quality fish food smells than low quality lol. Because there is so much more fish in it!

Lol, was feeding my fish in the 180 in the basement, and my wife would always say what's that smell because it would come up through the vents when furnace came on.:D
 
Seriously I always have other food items available to alternate so massivore wasn't a every day thing.
 
OK so Massivore shouldn't be fed every day? Should I alternate with another pellet, or a different food source altogether?
 
I would feed massivore 3 days a week twice a day for young oscars along with brine shrimp 2 days and then switch off between nightcrawler, mealworm and ghost shrimp 1 day a week that should be a good diet for them!
