hi going to make pasta for dinner tonite, do you think oscars will eat freash cooked pasta

Reckon they would!

some oscars will eat almost anything, I am not sure it will be in its best interest though? I don't know how it will digest it and may cause constipation? but as I have never tried I just don't know for sure.

for a few noddles or flat pasta, that will be fine but if too much,
it may cause trouble....

i'd rather not...

Well since pasta is made from wheat, eggs and water, I'm not sure how much nutritional value an Oscar will gain from eating it. However, like what has already been said, Oscars will try and eat anything like many fish, but I don't really think this is the sort of food you should be giving your Oscar. Stick to a healthy diet, get yourself some proper food that is made for cichlids.

thanx for the advise, i will not be given him any pasta, i just stick to his normal varied foods,

i was once adviced to try some brown bread , that was pressed into a ball.
i didn't pay attention to the "brown" in the advice, and used some white bread instead.
the fish didn't like it, but my water got messed up VERY badly, instantly.

that's when i decided not to try anything like that again.
So much variety in food to feed your oscars, that other people have tried before you, that there's no need for trying anything like that.

sticking to commercially prepared foods and things your fish would normally eat in the "wild" is probably the best advice. I don't think they have underwater Italian restaurants in the Amazon basin

Its all about the insects...lets face it
