yeah, it's a pity about neon disease, oscars must eat neon tetras in the wild all the time!
healthiest feeder fish for oscars?

i just found out that cardinal tetras are immune to neon disease. would cardinals be good feeders?
^ they would be expensive feeders considering here they are $3.50 each. I'd stick to pellets and flakes mostly, then black worms, blood worms, earth worms, and ghost shrimp for live food. Mine used to like chasing and eating ghost shrimp and at 4 for a dollar it was affordable to do once a month.
Nobody seems to have mentioned crickets, which I think are GREAT for oscars since they do eat bugs in the wild, and they're cheap.
I'd feed a staple of cichlid gold or some sort of cichlid pellet, then supplement it with crickets, earthworms, and once a month a few convict fry.
Personally, no feeders. They've got no nutritional value for the oscar, so I'd skip em.

My oscar loves beefheart and it's also good for quick growth as long as it's not an everyday food.
I really don't see why even bothering with feeder fish unless you raise them yourself...as for the wild gambusia idea, you still have to worry about parasites and also pollution issues. Not worth it at all.
Yes, feeding wild feeder fish is asking for problems. Please consider other safer possibilities.

Feeder fish are full of parasites anyways so treat the wild fish same way as you do with other feeders. Feeder guppies and red rosy are nasty, full of yellow grubs, black spots and fungal infections.
