I have recently gotten two oscar fish, one albino and one black, the problem is that when i feed them the black one always races in to grab the food first(i hand feed them frozen beef heart) but when i offer the albino food, it wont take it just sort of follows the other one around, but if i let the food go then the black one will zoom straight in and snatch it(even if its mouth is full, it just gulps it down) Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank-you.

If you get yourself some pellets and when you feed them, scatter the pellets over a wide area so at least both of them will get a chance at getting some. Of course if you put them in one small area, one of them could just wolf the whole lot down in one go

If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved

Hunger will get the better of the weaker one and he will soon start chasing for some food. As others have said spreading the food around is a good idea.

Feeding bloodworm is expensive and will get more so as your oscars get big. Keep it as a treat. Feed cichlid pellets, maggots, worms, frozen prawns, mussels, lance fish, peas and any insects you can get
