i just put about 10 or so 1/2 in feeder comets in about three hours ago... and one of the goldfish is whoopin the shit out of my oscar thats about 4 in... im scared the o is gonna die

Goldfish are bad mmmkay? Seriously though, I wouldn't feed my O goldfish, or even put the nasty disease infested little buggers in the same tank even. They have about as much nutritional value as a Big Mac. I'd rather feed mine steak. The last live fish he got was a Harlequin Rasbora. lol Net the bastage out, and give him a fishy funeral.

lolol i agree, dislike godlfish...but my gf loves them and insists on keeping them...sure its just to piss me off lol

Because Big Macs are terrible for you, as are feeder fish for your Oscars. I suppose it's a personal choice of course, but I'd like to help my fish live the longest and healthiest lives as possible. Fish who eat other fish that are rich in thiaminase suffer from Vitamin B1 deficiencies which can cause a whole slew of problems. I'm pretty sure Ryan posted an article about it in a different thread.

Now I'm not saying that indulging in the occasional Big Mac is a terrible thing; just saying - all in moderation. A goldfish here and there won't kill your Oscars, but a steady diet of them will. Ever see Supersize Me? LOL

yeah ive seen it... but its not the only thing that i feed my fish.... but that dude almost die..

supersize me just amde me really want a big mac

you posted you have fed your fish as a statement rather than asking advice,
and as you have said in your other thread, you have made your mind up not a lot anyone can say

i just hope in a few weeks your not asking advice on hith etc, tropical fish and cold water fish never live together and the chances of them ever meeting in the wild is the same chance i have of meeting a native siox living in a wigwam in my part of the UK

just MY opinion, some do use feeders personally i wouldnt, i spend many hundreds of £££s in giving all my fish the best chance possible of the longest life and live in the best conditions possible, so chucking something in the tanks that could kill them or create sickness i am not prepared to do,

I DO hope for your sake i am proved wrong as you obviously like your fish, but as i said why take any risks in what you put in the tank?

and just like Jenni x2
