Posted	Food for oscars
13-09-2006 10:59 by Bruce	Hi what is a good dry food for large oscars? as i have 2x 6"+ and one 10.5" i feed them king british cichlid sticks for preditiry cichlids, is there any other dry food as the big one won't anything exept prawns and mussels? Also how often shall i feed them prawns and mussels because there is also 9 large parrots in with them.

13-09-2006 11:08 by keith t	Feed them earthworm free from the garden, great source of protein, my parrots and oscars used to love them. Make sure you rinse the dirt off first though. Tought i include a pic of me parrots and oscar, the other oscar had to be rehomed as it started to get picked on Sweatybetty (oscar)
13-09-2006 11:12 by keith t	soory bruce, just noted you said dry food. i used to feed Hikari gold. Pellets range from small to large. This was all i fed them when dry food is concerned. I swear by hikari.
13-09-2006 11:13 by keith t	i can spell bruce just that my fingers run at a differant speed to my brain
13-09-2006 12:30 by Bruce	No, i didn't lose my fish, malawai

13-09-2006 14:07 by Danny Boy	i also feed hikari. as for a fish not eating them and only eating prawns my fish would starve until it ate the dry food. believe me that is a clever oscar taking you for a ride... give it two weeks of no treats and it'll be scoffing down the dry stuff
13-09-2006 16:20 by TARTINJOCK	I fed mine on Hikari Gold Lge pellets when I had them, mine did not like earhtworms, well fussy, used to feed them Cockle/mussel/praws 2-3 times a week, also some natural food, if you know what I mean?
13-09-2006 16:48 by keith t	tartinjock ur getting as bad as kobiskye, must be a scots thing, u only mentioned live food coz u saw dannyboys name, u know how touchy he gets about feeding fish to fish
13-09-2006 18:51 by Danny Boy	hes going to make me cry!!!
13-09-2006 20:23 by robert.pope	i use to give my mother of pearl cichlid maggots and castors as a treat after a day fishing !!! think good fishing shops have all size of bate(FOOD) sqwats being the very small ones !
14-09-2006 09:43 by darren653	aint most fishing maggots coloured? Is this still alright for the fish?
14-09-2006 12:37 by Alan	I swear by hikari gold to it only just back on UK shelves too just in time for me to top up again.
14-09-2006 12:55 by keith t	where has it been alan my lfs used to stock this and im finding it hard to get hold off. They told me hikari cant manufactuer it quicker enough to meet demands, is this true or a load of cock and bull:o
15-09-2006 09:31 by Alan	Thats rubbish keith there are ingredients in hikari that did not pass european scrutiny they now thankfully have. It should start reappearing now I bought some at the weekend.
