A friend of mine feeds minnows to his oscars and severums and the love them.
The minnows are taken from tidal waters and not fresh though. From my
understanding freshwater minnows have a higher likelihood of having
parasites, etc.

Just wondering if it would be potentially bad to feed bait minnows
(i.e. crappies, fat heads) as feeder fish to a oscar that is too big
for rosey reds but too small for comets. Also, how about the worms at
bait shops? A heck of a lot cheaper than at the petstore. I have a
strong suspicion that this may be bad (disease), any thoughts? Anyone
tried this?

BTW, I only feed live feeders as a "treat" once a week.
