and they are soooo greedy cus food in the tank only lasts a few seconds as they go mad n diving out of the water and splashing me when there feeding lol

Welcome to the site. I think you should start thinking about upgrading at some stage, your tank is only big enough for one Oscar.

The food you are feeding is perfectly okay, they will probably grow too big for Flake though. Various other pellets on the market, you could try cockles and mussels as well. Frozen fish fish from the fish shop always go down well with my Oscars.

i still believe in live food crickets,bloodworms,earth worms ect.

like to keep it as natural as possible like it would hv been in the wild for them.

good pellets is a must though as theirs very good vitsmend in there.

welcome to the site.

Yep, and mine goes crazy over earthworms and such as well. I make some food myself at times which I can freeze.
Apple I have never tried yet, that's a good idea!

Thinking about it, there is probably not that much Oscars wouldn't eat, they just shouldn't get everything. I heard many ppl recommend Hikari Gold as a good food when it comes to cichlid pellets.

Wait till your Oscars grow bigger, then the splashes get bigger as well

Oh and welcome aboard!
