Feeding Your
Oscar
Oscar fish produce a
lot of waste as it is and adding excess food can cause problems
related to pollution and disease. Only feed the Oscar fish as
much as it can eat in about two minutes and only once a
day.
Diet
Contrary to what some people
might say feeder goldfish are not a very nutritious food, and
they are a good way to spread disease to your beloved Oscars.
If you are going to feed feeder fish they should be
quarantined or raised by you, and certain types of feeders,
e.g. Goldfish, are not desirable due to high fat
content.
Feed your Oscar a varied diet of
pellet food that contains supplemental vitamins such as
Hikari's Staple, Gold, Biogold, New Life Spectrum or Omega One
and supplement it with vitamins. Also feed a combination of
processed, freeze dried and frozen food. As a treat feed
you can feed your Oscar live bugs, earth worms, grasshoppers,
beetles, chicken, or hamburger.
