Thanks guy's....He is great, but he wants nothing to do with the darn pellets they told me I should buy!! He loves the Beefheart, Krill, and silver(something) they are like little minnows, but the pellets they just sit there and I have to take them off the bottom and the filter cause he doesn't even acknowledge them!

Forget the sinking pellets and get floating ones. Oscars are pretty easy to get on pellets, and it will reduce the risk of developing HITH. Take the krill and THROW it at the water. That will usually induce a strike. After it gets the hang of that, substitute pellets. If it spits them out, don't give in. Keep offering pellets until it takes them.

They aren't live, they are all frozen (well, I de-thaw them first). I was worried about giving him live food, cause of diseases and such. So...why do I sound familiar? LOL!! Guess, I'm on to bigger fishies now eh!!

Ok, I will try that...so what stand back, and yell "Go long" then throw a **** Mary with the krill????
