You definitely have to give it more than a couple days before giving in and feeding him live food. Like one of the other posters had said it could take a month...maybe more but probably less.

He'll eventually eat pellets just give it time and don't give in.

yup sure. and what about veggies? my oscar didnt even touch it when i give it to him.
I wouldn't expect a Oscar to eat veggies. Peas maybe but other than that I doubt they'd be interested

yup i was mentioning about the peas, arent they veggies? lol i havent tried peas yet though. are canned peas good enough?
well, nobody knows what to relate to its size. lol my oscar now is reaching 4". he was 3" last month when i first bought him.
when i first bought him, i tried pellets but he didnt eat it, maybe becuz he was still stress. so, i tried worms and it works and since then he doesnt want to eat pellets. lol i think i shouldve tell what they feed him back in the lfs.
At that size, I would wait til he grows a little more to really starve him. I wouldn't feed him or offer him any food for 3 days and then drop him a good pellet like NLS or Omega 1. If he doesn't take it the 1st time, which I'm sure he won't, give him some shrimp or krill just for that 1 day, then repeat... maybe even try stuffing some pellets in there and see if he'll take them that way. Once he gets to around 5-6", u could probably starve him a little longer
