Oscar Food.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I definately wouldn't feed any fish a spider. all spiders are poisonous, to varying degrees. I've fed mine beefheart (from the frozen fish food section of my LFS), it was raw, and he loved it and grew tremendously.
 
Oscars are natural insectivores. crickets are a good treat.

I feed my oscar brine shrimp, feeders, beef heart, worms that i find outside, he ate one of my mollies, cichlid pellets, bottom feeder pellets, and i saw him eat poop one time. They will eat anything just make sure you have a wide variety of foods and not just feeders. I got yelled at many times on MFK becuase all my fish would eat is feeders. Also, i read that you can give them table scraps and any kind of meat. They really like crustatians such as crabs and cray fish.
 
i know i can't wait for it to rain or else for summer to go to the NSR!!!
