i feed mine (3, 13" oscars )with HIKARI CICHLID brand CICHLIDS GOLD and its larger pallet too. and they like its,

keep the diet varied, and keep up with water changes, oscars are susceptible to hith.
No goldfish, thier coldwater, oscars arent, besides being loaded w fat they provide little actual nutrition.
I do a variety of hikari as the staple diet and then change up the frozens every so often (such as bloodworms, krill, shrimp, etc) as well as earthworms occasionally.

Freeze dried Krill, cichlid staple & gold pellets, shrimp pellets, market shrimp, snails, crickets, etc.

Arowana sticks, hikari pellets, shrimp, smelt, and fish fillet. Sometimes I stuff the smelt with peas.
