I need a Little help

[OscarMan08]

I just bought 3 red oscars and 2 jack dempseys, if i give them feeder fish, will the JDs go after the Oscars?

How big are the fish and how big is the tank? Oscars are generally more aggressive then JDs.

And on that note, its bad to feed your fish feeders. Do a little search around the forum and you will learn why.

dont feed feeders as ur fish main diet. they are not that good in the long run..

like risk disease carriers, expensive cost..

try to ween them on market prawns or pallets.

ya, i think both ur fishes will be able to eat the feeder, but as each fish got its own character, u gotta observe and see that they get their food.. else u may need to seperate them..

thanks fellas aight were can i get the best food for these guys, im the biggest newbe to fish and i need all the help i can get

u can mix feeder fish, tubefLex or bLoodworms, peLLets, brine.....if dem fish get used to feeder fish they'LL take a Long time to pick back the pellets. RuLe of thumb i used on community setup...the baddasses should be smaLLer than the Less boisterous ones.....1 maLe to 3 femaLes per fish and a big tank with Lots of hiding pLace......good Luck!

Best staple in my opinion is a good pellet. I mix and match different brands--right now, my choices are Hikari Cichlid Gold and Omega One Cichlid. You can supplement with frozen foods, cocktail shrimp, worms, crickets, etc.
