I went downstairs to the kitchen to get some midnight snacks and i see this ugly cockroach!!!!

So i picked it up in a cup and threw him in the tank my house has been having a cockroach problem. This is the first time i feed him a cockroach. He ate it no problem he chewed it 2-3 times and went looking for more.

Im kinda scared this may poison him are cockroaches safe for oscars to eat?

it'll be fine, be nice for yr oscar to have a chnage in diet, just think about a wild oscar...no doubt things liek cockroaches would be a regular part of their diet when the fall in the water

I cant see it being a problem as long as the cockroach is healthy. However i was under the impression that healthy cockroaches are difficult to catch. Are you putting any poison down to kill the roaches, you wouldnt want to feed you oscar a cockroach that has been poisioned. I have very very little knowledge of cockroaches as we tend not to have a problem with them in the uk

Yeah I have done a little research and cockroaches are very good for fish/reptiles. However like del said if you can catch them easily or have been poisening them I would not feed them to your Oscar.

roaches are good kind of fish foods. don't you know that when a roaches
survived in a radiated area, human kind can survive too.

however, people normally believe that roaches are dirty...which is wrong!
