Hi there guys. I have posted a thread last 2 weeks ago about how can i feed my fish with staples like hikari cichlid gold aside from the superworms he normally eat. as some of our members adviced i starved him for quite some time (15days, if my memory serves me right). i continually tossed some of the hikari gold but all he does is grab it and then spit it out. i really dont want him to die of starvation so i bought superworms yesterday and he was in a feeding frenzy. may i just ask if i can feed my O with superworms as staple diet or i will just starve him again until he finally give up and eat or worse, die . tnx for helping me out guyz.. more power to all

Insects are a fine staple for your oscar. After all there arnt any hikari pellets in the wild.

but dont you think the oscars we have will never survive in the wild.. cause we (at least I) pamper them a lot... with many tasty treats

i always say starve them for few days, then give a pellet
every now and then..... but in reality, i could not withstand
seeing my fishes wiggling their tails begging for foods. eventually
i tossed in beefheart, fresh shrimp, or garden worms...

hahhahaha mine dont.. they keep moving here and there.. very slowly... i am think they are full in their stomach

just remember to vary things up for your oscar. superworms, crickets, earthworms, krill. shrimp ect...

as long as their diet is varied and healthy everything should be fine.

yes sir
