Oscar feeding time! (live food)

Feeding the oscars some live gudgeons, they were going to have feeder gold fish but the aquarium didnt have any left. To all the whiners, fish do eat other fish in the wild...pellets make fish like this lethargic and bored with their food.

PS. these fish have been rehomed as I immigrated to US, the new owner is very experienced so i'm happy with their new home.

holy shit those were the fastest oscars i've ever seen

[wolfie83]

@cYbeRxKittiE They were lazy slugs most of the time lol...they're purk up and go into predator mode when lives were in there, they also liked live insects of varying types that I got from reptile supply stores. Meal worms are a GREAT way to fatten up an oscar.

Those two still alive?

Also I noticed you said you bought the feeders from your fiend. I take it he breeds feeder fish? I mean pet store feeder fish are not a good idea to feed oscars I've read (I'm trying to learn as much as I can here since I bought a couple a few days ago), but I would love to see them feed off feeders at least once. And I am not buying from any pet store. So my guess is your friend breeds them?

[wolfie83]

@MasterSamurai yes they are alive, very healthy, very large...but I no longer have them, I moved abroad and was unable to take them. And yes, my friend breeds feeder fish, they're in conditioned water much like what we keep our pets in. Feeders are of no nutritional value though, its just a treat that gives them a little fun.

@3omar619 because i'm not a sick/sadistic human being that gains pleasure off watching animals getting killed slowly.

@BOAD10100 so dont watch it then retard.

Never use goldfish, they're infamous for introducing diseases and offering almost no nutrition to a fish. Minnows are a very good source if from a reputable place.

Lovely fish! I had two Oscars a couple of years ago and they just had fights all day until one died from the stress and then the other wasn't eating due to being lonely. I got them big as well, they had a daily food of Gold Fish, lol.

@MrAsombraso They work really well and I cant use pellets because of the filter type I have pellets would stop it up and cloud my water and the flakes I use my oscars eat to fast but other then that there good.

[MrAsombraso]

@wotldthe2006 How are the flakes? I only use pellets and i was thinking about using flakes but i don't know how there like

[wotldthe2006]

@cYbeRxKittiE Mine eat flakes and they eat them fast and my red oscar will jump out of his tank for it to
