heres what i feed my Oscar:
- Prawn (frozen and raw)
- tilapia (frozen and raw)
- squid (frozen and raw)
- smelt (frozen and raw)
- herring (frozen and raw)
- krill (frozen and raw)
- silver sides (frozen and raw)
- mysis shrimp (frozen and raw)
- Brine shrimp (frozen and raw)
- algae wafers
- regular wafer
- shrimp pellets
- flake food
- vegetables, i.e: cucumber, zucchini, yams, sweet potatoes, broccoli, romaine lettuce, peas
- pellets, i.e Hikari Cichlid gold, Hikari Massivore and NLS Cichlid formula (this is what i feed MOST)
on a side note regarding worms:
most worms are made up of mostly moisture, and have very little protein. so in short, no worm is better then a top quailty pellet. if u look on a pack of frozen blood worms and check out the guaranteed analysis you will see what i mean.
i don't feed worms to any of my fish anymore, its just not worth it. there's always going to be a chance of disease or parasite when feeding live. the bottom line is, worms are not that nutritious compared to other foods out there. like the ones i listed above.
there's also been cases were fish have become addicted to certain worms and begin to refuse other foods.
