Oscar will only eat pellets!! How to train him!!?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Keep on feeding him pellets....it would be worse if he was stuck on feeders like my dads oscars are.....pellets will give him the nutrition it needs and he really don't need the beefhearts

You are feeding your Oscar a very good pellet food. There is no need to force him to eat beef heart. NLS will provide the nutrition that he needs. A lot of people have problems with their fish being stuck on feeders. It's rare to find someone worried about a fish, especially an Oscar, being stuck on a quality pellet. In time he may take the beef heart again. Use it as a treat instead of an everyday food. Just don't starve him to make him take a food that is not a good and balanced meal.

i 100% agree, leave him alone.. he is eating a total balanced diet already with the pellets,.. Listen to your big O --he knows best..:D
 
Why was this moved to the media lounge?
 
O maybe from the media lounge....whateva
 
All mine were always like swimming dust bins and would eat EVERYTHING.

Pellets is good for them and then peas/beef/crickets/earth worms etc as treats.
 
Thanks everyone..i have always gotten him the best pellets..:headbang2I just always hear about varied diets being good for fish
@ Larry osbourne I tried peas..he wasn't having it!
Also he has had only a few guppies in his life as i had him since 1.5"
