Have you guys ever seen your oscars do this?

Mine eats his food, then spits it out form his gills or mouth.

What should i do then? Does it mean he's being fussy? Should i stop feeding for a whie?

thats the way oscars eat. this is what is meant when you hear that oscars are messy eaters or messy fish.

yeah mine do the same, chaw it up, and a fair bit comes out. This is a great argument to have clown loach as they go and pick up all the bits.))

Re:Oscar spitting food 1 Month, 1 Week ago  
my two oscars usually do that.
After grabing too much frozen meat,
they will spit out while my pangasius
take advantage of it. They will grab
them in split second.
