Help with what to feed my oscars?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
This question has come up before. Oscars already grow at an extremely fast rate. Why would you want it to grow any faster?! Just keep up a variety of foods and you will get excellent growth. Krill, bloodworms, plankton, and mosquito larvae are examples of cubed frozen you can get about anywhere. I get bait shrimp and full frozen beefheart from the grocery store. The shrimp you just pull the head, peel, chunk and feed. The beefheart I cut to size, freeze, and feed. ONLY FEED BEEFHEART IN MODERATION THOUGH! Don't overfeed beefheart, or you will run into problems, especially with oscars. Only feed it once a week at most, and mainly as a treat not a meal. You can also feed worms, fish fillets, crickets, so on. All of these foods, of course, must be accompanied by an appropriate diet of pellet, etc.
