hi guys,got a question for you's
my oscar is about 6 mnths old now and has had a good diet of everything ,this included pelets,worms,crickets,bugs,frozen food blocks and every now and then feeder fish,,but now he is hooked on the frozen blood worm and fish dinner blocks,i starved him for 5 days but he still wouldnt touch the pallets..is this going to be a promblem or can he get what he needs from these,cheers chris

p.s (he still loves bugs and crickets )

I have the same problem with my O. I fed him pellets and grubs from the shop when he was little, but he loved the grubs. He occasionally eats the pellets, but not really. He also eats feeder fish, shrimp, prawns, and he's still alive. I don't know but I think they're like us, they only want the best!!

sounds like my o pooky,he use to love the pallets but i found out my wife was given in to he's beggin while i was at work and given him more of the frozen worms and meals,now he is a worm junky:)

Thankfully ive not got a feeding problem my two little fattys eat anything including air bubbles,little fingers,and any other flotsam they find.lol

ha ha,,there all the same them hey,,mines got no prob feedn he just wont touch those pallets,but my filter loves them

If your oscar wont eat a type of food you should try to get him back on it. Only feed him the type he wont eat for a week (remove the food if he wont eat it), then feed him what he likes for one day, then feed the food he wont eat for a week. Your oscar will soon get hungry and eat the food. Oscars can go a long time without eating, 2 weeks easy. A healthy fish wont starve itself
