Silversides are saltwater fish. Your lfs should have some. My fish love it.

Yeah, they would be fine to feed to limas and oscars. I use them to feed almost everything I have. The frozen silver sides are VERY messy when you feed, so I would have a gravel vac ready to clean up.

What I usually do is feed them silver sides before I do my water change so I'm not building more of a bio load with silver side pieces everywhere. When I'm not doing water changes I feed live shiners.

yeah they're good food for predators i also use shrimp/prawn and all kinds of shellfish,my lima loved anything and my oscars def eat anything!

I used to be able to catch them myself - I would freeze them, and wash them prior to using (Thawing too) and chop them up.

SOME fish love them, a few just don't care for the taste, so test your fish out first.
