question on my oscars

[Goes to 11!]

I saw a video on you tube of a 55g masive oscar tank with 2-12inch oscars in it.There are a dozen or more videos of fish keepers with real big fish in it.

So what? All you need to post a YT video is a video camera and a bad idea.

Any, And I mean ANY, tard with a fishkeeping IQ barely above room temperature and a video camera can make a video of a terrible example of stocking and stick it on Youtube.

They are NOT examples to follow.

IMO those videos are only setting a terrible example, They are "How NOT to have your fish thrive IF they survive at all" videos.

I would stay away from feeding mice (most fishes digestion is not optimal for mammalian meat) I've heard of people giving them as a treat, but also heard of them killing fish.

best food would be chopped up raw market shrimp. won't be messy like what you're feeding now. also hikari cichlid gold is a good pellet that isn't too messy.

what's your water change schedule like?

It's best to feed oscars food they can swallow whole. You won't get blowouts through the gills, which is typically what happens because the pellet or jumbo stick is too large to swallow.

It was a sad day.I had to sell those big oscar fish and I was feeding them the pellets to.My 75 gallon was getting to small and the lfs guy said he would take them so I took them to him today.
