I haven't done this yet but, i was just wondering if feeding Oscars baby Convicts is a bad idea. I'm not looking at getting ripped for the moral part of the statement, I just want to know if anyone thinks it will hurt my Os

It will be fine to feed your Oscars Convict Babies... Lots of people breed them for that purpose!

So is it safe to say that convicts are better for them than goldfish and guppies?

Guppies aren't bad, and yes they are far better than goldfish... Just make sure if you buy feeders that they are quarantined. So your Oscars don't get sick!

Good luck with your Convicts!

lol my best advice i can give you on this topic is feed them very young because those convicts are fast, i had about 10 out of every batch of fry live lol... i was just giving them away. i mean if you have like african cichlids they are great put them in at about 1/4" and they will gobble them right up. but oscar size convicts generally are fast swimmers lol. dont be surprised if you have a few convicts that grow big in your tank lol.

I tried this but i felt so guilty at feeding them to oscars that i gave up. It wont do your oscars any harm as long as you dont feed them to often, keep it as a treat
