THERE ARE THREE RULES WHEN IT COMES TO FEEDING OSCARS THEY ARE : DO NOT OVERFEED, DO NOT OVERFEED AND DO NOT OVERFEED. FEED YOUR OSCARS SMALL AMOUNTS OF FOOD UNTIL YOU GET USED TO HOW MUCH THEY WILL EAT. IF YOU HAVE OVERFED YOUR OSCARS THERE WILL BE FOOD ON THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK THIS WILL DECAY AND YOUR WATER UALITY WILL SUFFER. IF YOU FIND FOOD ON THE GRAVEL THEN YOU ARE OVERFEEDING THEM. YOU SHOULD REMOVE ANY UNEATEN FOOD STRAIGHT AWAY.FEED YOUR OSCAR A VARIED DIET OF FROZEN AND LIVE FOOD. THERE ARE LOTS OF DIFFERENT FOODS THAT YOU CAN FEED YOUR OSCARS MUCH OF WHICH IS FREE. REMEMEBER THAT IN THE WILD OSCARS EAT SMALLER FISH CRUSTACEANS AND INSECTS. I AM NOT A SUPPORTER OF FEEDING FEEDER FISH ESPECIALLY AS THERE ARE LOTS OF THINGS YOU CAN FIND IN YOUR BACK GARDEN TO FEED YOUR OSCARS. THEY WILL EAT SMALL SNAILS, WOODLICE AND WORMS . SNAILS CAN BE COLECTED AT NIGHT OR DURING THE RAIN. CRUSH THE SHELLS AND THROW THEM IN THE TANK. ,WOODLICE CAN BE FOUND UNDER ROTTING WOOD ,LOOSE BARK, UNDER PILES OF ROCKS OR DAMP CREVICES. THESE CAN BE JUST THROWN INTO THE OSCARS. THE BEST TIME TO LOOK FOR WORMS IS ON COOL MOIST AUTUMN EVENINGS OR ON HUMID DAYS BEFORE IT RAINS. ALTERNATIVELY LIQUIDISE SOME POTATOE PEELINGS AND PLACE THEM ON AN AREA OF SOIL, COVER THEM WITH A PIECE OF CARPET ABOUT 2 FT BY 1 FT. AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS LIFT UP THE CARPET AND YOU SHOULD FIND WORMS OF VARIOUS SIZES. YOU CAN EVEN BUY A COMPOST BIN AND CULTIVATE YOUR OWN WORMS. THEY CAN BE SIMPLY CUT INTO SMALL PIECES OR THROWN IN HOLE DEPENDING UPON THE SIZE. OTHER LIVE FOODS INCLUDE RIVER SHGRIMPS FROM YOUR LOCAL AQUARIST SHOP THESE ARE A FANTASTIC FOOD FOR BRINGING THE OSCARS INTO SPAWNING CONDIOTN AND FOR GETTINDG SOEM REALLY BEATIFULL RICH RED / ORANGE COLOUR IN YOUR FISH.
