Hey everyone i am starting to run out of food and i want to get something different, so they have a change of foods, variety kind of. I am feeding them hikari staple and hikari gold. So i was wondering if theres any other foods out there i can give them, as a staple diet. I also give em blood worms now and then and drop shrimp pellets in every now and then along with the ocasional algaee waffer. Thanks eveyrone

I would stick with the pellets you are currently using, and then give night crawlers, and shrimp, and mealworms. This will add variety.

Allrighty, does hikari make shrimp pellets?

Why pellets? Give them frozen shrimp you get at the store...

Just thaw them a little.

ok i also have some wegams brand peas for what ever reason lol so after i thaw them how many should i feed him. And can i microwave them so i dont have to wait for them to thaw.

I feed my Oscars crispy creams and potato chips, it might bring the ammonia up a little bit but my Oscars could never be better.

And Matt, if you put the shrimp in a little bowl with warm water they thaw quick

I would drop 2 or 3 and see how they react... They may not eat them!
