let us know if he like it

? do you cut threw the fibers in the pineapple. I just cut a piece off the chunk he took it chewed it spit it out then crabbed it again. it was cold so I will try a room temp piece. Our O is a fussy eater..

well I tried to warm a piece in the microwave, he tried the first piece 2x's and now he is not interested. I'll try anything new.thanks any why.

that's too bad. some oscars are real picky eaters, mine actually enjoys pineapple a lot.

warm it !!!!!!!!!????????????????

I used fresh pineapple. Syrup wouldnt be that great for them.

I am going to try a worm. when it rains here the worms come out like crazy. I give it to him when i know he's hungry so he goes after it or it will just sink and this O is a lazy O...~

in my crash course on vermiculture, one question i raised is that, why worms usually come out of the ground whenever it rains. the expert said that worms are sensitive to acidic water wherein sometimes our rain is so acidic that it irritates the worm under the ground forcing them to come out to ease themselves. if that is so, then it is just logic to wash them before feeding to oscar.

thanks, I definitely don't want to make him sick.
