what do your oscars go crazy over? mine seem to like to eat guppies and rosies, I want to try feeding them some fruits and veggues too but they dont seem as interested in it unless its alive but they do like raw shrimp and tilapia.
 
While I had mine he liked the various tetras I put in there.
 
Toni went ape shot crazy over anything you tossed in there, but really loved her some crickets maybe the crunchyness.

She will eat a peeled grape unless I pull out a worm or a cricket. She'll spit that sh** out quick if she sees something she likes better lol. Then looks at me all mad like I was holding out on her

The ones I had went nuts over insects. Something about the movement on the water drives a lot of fish nuts. Dubias are a great insect to gut load. Peas are another good one.

Honestly i wouldn't risk a feeder fish. Internal parasites are a pain to deal with
