Can juvi oscars about 6 months old tell the difference between feeder goldfish and small Africans a little bigger then goldfish?

umm.............do you feed the oscar feeders<its not worth doing this>no nutritional value and big chance of fish catching something, second,,,if this is normal diet for them then anything that sort of size will look like a nice meal

How big are the africans? If it can fit in its mouth, it's a meal.

^^i agree, pretty much any predatory fish, unless its extensively trained not to eat live food, will eat anything that can fit in its mouth

seriously? ...The oscar doesn't view african cichlids the same way you do.

Ha ha I assumed as much but it's weird when they see feeders they dart after inhale them but small cichlids they seem curious but typically don't attack. Seemed odd which is why I proposed the ?



And now that I said that they will shortly inhale all my Africans
