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!!

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
