i need feeding advice

[Oscar guy]

I have an 90 gallon tank and have oscars, green terror, flowerhorn ,firemoths, a JD and two craw fish. when it comes down to feeding i feed them flakes, granulets,live food (minnows) and for the craw fish sinking pellets. i would like to start feeding my fish new food.I read that some raw foods are a good source of protine. For example shrimp and beefhearts are suggested but i dont really noe if thats rite for my fish. if u can please suggest other food i can feed my and how to prepare them

thank u

keep it varied. I would keep feeding what you are already feeding but add shrimp, beefheart, peas, keep away from the live if you can, cichlid pellets, krill.....I'm sure there is more that i'm not thinking of right now.

They will love you for it

I concur with Rally. You may want to find a new home for the crawfish. Your O will chow down on them when they get big enough.

NEVER PISS OFF A HUNGRY CRAWFISH

But just wait until he is big enough. The crayfish will no longer be able to defend themselves.

Throw a pile of rocks in corner of tank. Get some convicts. Big enough so that they will not get eaten. They will breed and provide a disease ffree food source for your bigger cichlids. Plus it's FUN to watch. Don't be squeamish, it's just like nature!
