i've tried 3-4 different brands of cichlid food, currently hikari
cichlid staple. my oscares seem less than impressed, only a couple
bites eaten it seems. what can i use/try? they all loved the flakes.
but that seems a poor choice.

Try Goldfish,Guppies, tadpoles.. If you wanna keep Oscars, your gunna have
to feed them correctly, and bloody flakes for a predatory fish, is like
trying to feed minced steak to a vegetarian. Talking about minced steak,
also try chopped Liver..

i have 4 beautiful oscars (each about a foot long). i have never fed
them live feeder fish but what i do feed them i get at the local
supermarket. i buy small popcorn shrimp from the meat department. they
are small, uncooked and they love them. they eat better than i do.
they will jump several inches out of the water to take it from my hand.
i have raised these four guys since they were about 2-3 inches long.
they also like frozen krill (and freeze dried).

forgot to mention. . . .

I purchased my oscar at the begining of March 2004 and he was 4 inches
long. Now he is 5 1/4 inches long! I guess his diet has been ok for
him to grow that fast. He is still growing too!

Hikari seems like a good name, but I've never had any luck with any of my
cichlids*peacocks* taking to any of Hikari foods, instead, I get the Wardley
sinking pellets, granules, even tetra makes a good sinking food, and they
all go nuts for it...

Feeding Oscars live foods, can create an aggresiveness that you'll probably
not like.. Sometimes it can be a bad thing to feed live fish, maybe
beefheart, and some homemade foods...

Any Oscar I've ever owned will only eat Hikari the first couple of
times it's fed to them, after that they turn up their noses. However,
they go crazy for the Wardly pellets--

I have three of my old ten gallon tanks out in the garage. I keep them
about 25% filled with oatmeal and raise monster mealworms. The only
time I feed them feeders is when my wife has the Girl Scout troop at
the house here -- little kids love watching Oscars stalk and consume
Rosy Reds!
