Snail food? wtf? I didn't know all that... I thought they just ate scum and waste from the tank... What exactly should I put in there for them? Keep in mind they're in an oscar tank...

Just drop some sinking veggie wafers for them in the tank. I have 7 apple snails in a breeding tank, they eat one wafer a day. That will ensure they get enough food.
