i was running low on my pellets that i bought for my 4 oscars from before. and i was wondering which kind of brand should i go with; Hikari cichlid pellets, Omega One cichlid pellets, HBH oscar grow, or HBH oscar show. i have 4 oscars; 1 is about 12" and the other 3 are about 6". i'm trying to get one of the smaller 3 to pair off with the larger oscar.

for a pellet i also use hikari gold. my oscar like them and i like that there is less mess from them as compared to the tetra jumbo sticks.

i also use omega one cichlid crisps for a bit of variety along with live and frozen foods

My fish food assortment looks something like my Grandmothers medicine cabinet.

For dry food I have, and do feed, eveything that you've stated above and more. Sometime I do like the HBH Oscar Grow because I do have other tankmates and that one does both sink and float giving my other guys a chance.
But I allways use Hikari Cichlid Bio-Gold at least once a day. And if I had to choose only one ... that would be it.

For pellets i feed Hikari cichlid gold, i also feed them pond pellets as they are cheaper(i dont recommend feeding only this). Any of the top brands will be ok for your oscar, just make sure they get some cichlid pellets at least twice a week to make sure they get all the vitamins and minerals etc they need

I tend to stick with Hikari Cichlid Gold, the large size. I also feed Tetra Dorimen, these are different to the round pellets, they are food sticks and Oscars go absolutely mad for them. A large tub costs around £14 and will last around three months. I would advise you to steer away from cheap pellets. Oscars aren't stupid, they will turn their noses up at low quality food, well mine do anyway. I might add that I don't make a habit of feeding crap food to my fish. I was in one of these big pet warehouses a while back, they sell all sorts of stuff for fish. They had some quite cheap pellets that I thought I would try. My Oscars really don't like them at all.

just keep feeding them to your oscar. Eventually he will get hungry enough andf will eat them

When i said pond pellets i meant good quality ones, not cheap own label stuff
