I feed my baby’s blood worms 🐛 as they grow up I feed them dried mealworms the same as you would buy for chicken feed. You can save a ton of money buy feeding them the mealworms. Just don’t over feed them. You can buy a 3 pound bag for less than 8 dollars at Roil King. Or other stock feed stores. I don’t recommend feeding your Oscars live feeder fish because it will make them aggressive toward other fish in your tank. Never feed your fish Walmart live worms they will cloud up your tank and you will have to clean everything out in your tank to get it to clear up plus you will have to quarantine your fish in a separate tank it a mess expressly the crapy worms with die in them. Believe me I did and it was a terrible mess. Remember Oscars like to sleep sometimes so if you find your Oscars lying around just let it be that’s normal.
If anyone has an issue with them not eating pellets try baby or small sized crickets, they want to eat food that moves. Mine eat all the crickets "5-6" I put in the water, and sleep all night afterward on the bottom of the tank
Hey there! Guess you are new in the hobby! So here goes! Oscars unlike other cichlids are very sensitive as far changes in their environment go.. so whenever you get a new oscar fish follow these: make sure the water parameters are good (ammonia etc), Make sure they have lots of hiding spots , Make sure the lights are turned off for a couple of days, Don't go near the tank suddenly for the first couple of days just feed and go away. Slowly your fish will acclimate to the new tank and swim confidently..so don't worry it's a very common thing with Oscars to act how they are acting in your tank
Oscars are not a community fish unless paired with other semi aggressive big breeds. If you left the oscars in there I guarantee that's all you have left lol
@@angelofdeath3208 hi aritro, i feed everythig, pellets, sinking pills, frozen seafood, live.. and they are big and healthy, i don't feed too much fish because of fat.
@@osito_pu5367 u should never feed them feeding fishes because they are breed for feeding with less care and they may have diseases that can be passed to your fish and go for some thing new that is shrimp and beef heart(specially)
@@angelofdeath3208 i dont buy that ill fishes to chain shops, i hav several aquariums and when they breed y colect to avoid overpopulation, i dont introduce fish from outside. i had problems in the past buying feeder fish, i breed them by myself.
As babies you can feed them 2-3 times per day. I feed mine 5 pellets 3 times a day at breakfast lunch and dinner. He’s a baby (about 2.7 inches as of now)
@@rpsscorpius8251 well, my tiger Oscar has grown to around 6 inches now and I sized him up in pellet size but if I was feeding him his old smaller pellets I would feed him around 20 2 times a day and then 3 times a day back and forth. So for a 4 inch Oscar I’d say no more than 25 but no less than 10 small pellets 2-3 times a day. Also you will be able to tell if you are over feeding based on how big their stomach bump is it should be relatively smooth but still visible
@@austen4651 Ohh .. I got my Oscar 3 months ago when he was 2.5 inches but now he's just over 4 ... I had been feeding less than 20 pellets per day in the first 2 months .. but few weeks back I bought freeze dried shrimp and I've been feeding shrimps in the afternoon, 5 pellets in the morning, nothing after that ... Have I been underfeeding ?
Help me out man. I've had Oscar's before they are like puppy dogs. I bought a baby albino recently he is by himself in a 20 gal for now he was scared and wouldn't eat normal.behavior but been 4 days he lookin skinny now and I'm concerned he still seem to be scared. Tank mate help him to be confident and eat? Seems healthy otherwise
Why on earth is your Oscar in a 20? He will die in his own waste soon. Get him a 75 gallon that he can grow and be healthy in. They need heavy water changes they make lots of waste through their gills and feces. Good filtration and food is a must. Baby O's need to feel secure. Walls or clumps of plants, driftwood. Floating plants and he will settle in. In that tiny tank he will need daily water changes until U get something bigger.
@@slickchick5811 i got this abused Oscar in a 20 gallon that was filthy, cleaned the whole thing now got a double filtration system with plants. He is a year old but still very small, u think he will be alright?
@@eamonkinney your fish pretty much stunned his growth by being in a 20 gallon for so long . A solo oscar needs anywhere from 55gallon to 75gallon , 75 to 125 you can add a pleco or one tank mate ( 125 and bigger you can keep more Oscars)
Dude i just bought ny first Oscar and this little guy refuses to eat flake food, frozen brine shrimp, and even pellets from my local fish store which is the same store I bought the Oscar
Try blood worms no fish can resist those lol I just picked up 2 baby oscars as well that were refusing to eat, I find albino are more finicky with their food then regular tiger oscars are anyways blood worms are your best friend put a bit in some water mix it around a bit until it starts defrosting takes about 20 seconds and then dump it in
Anthony Gwara and its true the smallest tank a oscar can go in is a 50 gallon (for one) plus i was just getting in to the hoby at the time so you dont half to make such a big deal but thx for atleast correcting my mistake but have a good day god bless you all
Anthony Gwara and also i know they get that big in a year but my jaguar cichild killed mine soooo yeah and plus i got hime from petsmart and he already had hole in the head diease i tried my best but he ended up dying 😪
you are wrong there is no set gallon in my opinion you Need atleaat 20 gallons for every inch your fish for each fish you have in the same tank its just like turtles atleast 20 gallons per inch of his shell and you want a filter that made for twice the water you have say you have a 50 gallon tank you want at least a filter made for a 80 gallon tank if your need for money but if you have the money double your filtration system for your fish they will live longer ha
Dude, those are baby Oscars, they are perfectly fine. If the Oscar is fully grown, they should be in a 55 gal tank, but since they're babies, it's perfectly fine to keep them there for now
no I strongly disagree to that abuse need to read about them and do you research that in my opinion is fish abuse and look up how a fish looks when cared for properly your apart of those people who impulse buy fish or a turtle and not realizing that your going to abuse your pet because of ignorance

The Black one is an Tiger Oscar and the pink on is a Albino Ocar
My Baby Oscar Fish HATE Flake Food! They bite my goldfish's fins in my 120 gallon tank. I dont know what to feed them!?
Oscars are territorial fish. Never comm them with the goldfish. In no time, the latter will turn to fish food.
Oscars with goldfish? U lost ur mind brother?
Oscars are not a community fish unless paired with other semi aggressive big breeds.
If you left the oscars in there I guarantee that's all you have left lol
Is it normal for oscars to pass some crumbs or small bits of food trough their gills btw great video keep it up
Kyle O' Gorman yes it is. All cichlids do that.
Kyle O' Gorman yes
No he put a little one for now and they will get BIG and he will buy a bigger tank
@@Jamie-rr3cg wtf are u saying
Oscars chew with their gills
I have 2 tiger Oscar which sige pellet are sutabule baby or mini or medium plz.

Can you do one for bichirs
Dude what gallon tank is that

That’s exactly what I have, At first i bought African cichlids and I just got an Oscar

Never do that because ur Oscars will loose it's red color try to feed pellets.
