O.K thanks will try and find some suitabley sized mealworms and other assorted "goodies" thanks.

just a quick thought, how do you get crickets out of the container they come in without them jumping everywhere?

thanks

Daze the crap out of them by shaking the bag and then toss them in, works for me!Add some flies in there also, they dont have to be alive.
 
Knock em out a little bit. An Oscar will generally eat anything it can fit in it's mouth.
 
are you kidding me??? i have seen it happen to reptiles, birds and yes....FISH! i worked at a pet store for the past year and a half and i have had plenty of time to experiment! you can ask reptech also cause he has witnessed it with me. it is not myth! i have seen a peacock bass come in with a hole in the stomach from a meal worm that a customer fed his fish.

Nonsense. I've been feeding my fish mealworms pretty regularly as "side-dishes" to complement their staple food, and none of them developed holes in their stomachs. A fish would chew the mealworm up in its mouth and that would kill it. If the mealworm somehow survives the teeth of the fish, the acids and enzymes in the stomach would finish it instantly.

False information isn't helpful at all.
 
thanks for the help, although i have heard this before, it is remideed by taking the protective coating off of the mealworm i think. whats the best crickets or locusts. i know locusts get bigger but what is the other differences.

thanks
Matt
