feeding time

what food will give my tiger Os the best health?

you want a variety. I currently feed 9 different foods to my fish. pellets, fresh, and frozen. NLS, omega one, and hikari foods with a treat of shrimps, freeze dried crickets and krill will give you happy, healthy fish.
good food means faster growth and good coloration.

My O's go crazy for market shrimp, with the occasional earth worm..

I would go with a high quality cichlid pellet and as a treat tilapia and fd krill. Avoid prawns and live feeders due to thiaminase.

thanks. how much food is too much. i know that Os only have like a 15 sec memory so they will easily over eat.

Oscars will eat till they are sitting at the bttom of the tank with food spilling out of their mouths and gasping cause their sooo full....thats when its too much and dont fall for their begging. i would say pellets once a day like few, then one or two pieces of a frozen treat for lunch and one piece for dinner is fine.

I feed mine hikari cichlid gold and cichlid staple pellets omega 1 flake and massivore pellets and for meaty diet I feed bloodworms , krill, freshly caught salmon and sometimes market shrimp and earthworms and I also do two 50% water changes a week and my O's stay in perfect condition
