I got a tank a month ago (240gal). I got it for my for turtles, but decided there was room for a big fish, we decided on a tiger oscar, and got her a few days later. She's still little, only 3 or 4in long. I got her some hikari cichlid gold(mini), but she just spits them out, all she'll eat is the Reptomin turtle pellets. I looked at the ingredients of the two, and they are similar. Reptomin is the best commercial turtle diet available. But i'm worried that they aren't optimal for an oscar. So does anyone have experience with this, tell me all's well, or recommend an addition to the diet for her? She is growing like a weed, colorful, very active and appears generally healthy. I feed the turtles fruits and veggies that she also eats. Thanks for reading. Here's a link to the ingredients of the pellets and nutritional value: (http://www.turtleforum.com/forum/upload/index.php?showtopic=121125)
In case anyone is wondering, everyone(4 turtles, 5 large goldfish, oscar, & pleco) get along great(except fish) and the oscar even follows around my largest turtle and "defends" her from the goldfish, or anything else she see's as "her's". It's kind of weird to see her travel around w/ a large turtle but whatever. Have some pics in my profile if anyone's interested.
