My oscar ate everything. another good way to get food is to dig for worms. just turn on your hose and put it in a spot for a minute, wait a little while, then dig in that spot. You should get tons of worms and your Oscar will love em' P.S My oscar ate worms since he was a juvenile, and he never had any health problems at all. Last edited by GrimZ at 28-Aug-2005 22:16

So_Very_Sneaky Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3238 Kudos: 2272 Votes: 201 Registered: 10-Mar-2004	Of course you can. When I was young my parents had an oscar. He loves worms and grasshoppers. Used to swim around with only the grasshopper legs sticking out of his mouth kicking was so funny! I wouldnt worry too much about what worms you feed him, any from your yard should be fine.

Yep... grasshopers are brilliant. I love letting them lose on the inside of my tank lids and watching my o's jump for their food... as it jumps away! Brilliant! But remember, all of these foods are treats. Not part of your O's daily diet.
