Not like worms?

My Oscars do not eat any kind of worms. Mealworms, nightcrawlers, or even bloodworms...:confused:

They do however love crickets, red rosy/fathead feeders, Hikari Cichlid Gold/Staple, and Hikari SCP (sinking carnivore pellet)

The meal worms and bloodworms are taken and spit out kind of chewed then ignored.

They won't even get attempt to eat nightcrawlers.

When I had oscars they ate anything i put in the tank

That is exactly why I am confused. I did not think Oscars were picky eaters.
 
Mabye its just the ones that you have. I would be worries unless something else is wrong
 
I'm not really worried. I just thought my O's would enjoy worms.
 
They come up to the surface but when they see the nightcrawler they ignore it.
 
Oscars are weird,quirky fish.Nothing they do surprises me anymore.Mine one day decided not to eat live fish anymore and still refuses to.
