.No problem. If you want to be safe do the 25% water changes every 3 or 4 days. It's a good practice to get into anyway since Oscars are so messy anyway. Depending on the week and tank condition mine get wc's once or twice a week. Once a week 35% twice a week 25%, if the tank gets murky looking or they are causing some kind of worry, I've been known to fit 3 small water changes into a week.
If the fish seems stressed, turn the lights out, and maybe even add some extra aeration if you have an extra power head.
By chance is he in with a pleco?

He is by him self yay rallysman you repleyed thanks so should i give give him one piece of each meat?? or do you mean to give him a little extra.
I would just go with a variety of pellets, not meat, and use that as the staple. I have mine on a few different kinds of hikari, wardley, and bloodworms or earthworms as an occasional treat.
Why would you get a variety of pellets my pellets seem to have everything and would'nt the pellets just be the same if not can you suggest some i know about omega and hikaki sorry can't spell that word but yer at the momet i could afford another thing of pellets.
From my understanding, the first listed item is the base, and the less of the ingrediant, the lower it is on that list.
Therefore the list has some differences, for example mine has less crude fat than what you use, and certain ones although containing alot of the same vitamins, dont have as much as others. Another part of the reason however I mix, is it saves on cost (around here the gold is always more than the staple, and the excel i got for half off, all of which is what i use)...I mix bc they seem to prefer the gold, however by mixing, its hard for them to be as picky and it all gets eaten.
Not all brands are equal imo, as my fishs' color started to come out more when I switched to hikari.
It works for me, and that plus water changes I think attributes alot to why my oscar does not have hith.
