Fussy

[joel_27]

My fish, an Oscar, is really fussy about his food. I had several types of pellets for him, but he is just too fussy. I had a difficult time trying to get him to eat. What can i do? Any advise is greatly appreciated. Please help.

I thought the fish, Oscar, are supposed to eat meat. Maybe you can try feeding some small shrimps or life bites to feed your fish.

Do let me know if it works.

my oscars will eat a bit of different things. Flake food, shrimp pellets, cichlid staples, freeze dried bloodworms, frozen brine shrimp, live feeder guppies, and have even thrown a few pieces of cooked beef roast. I dont feed them all the same things every day. I alternate them.

For fussy feeders you should stop feeding them at least 3 days, then feed alittle of food in. They should finish the food in few seconds.
