If your fish is not eating then it is probably a good idea to only feed every other day or even every three days. Oscars can be extremely fussy and sometimes treating them like little children can do the trick and get them eating. My one loved worms but the other would just play with them now they both won t eat them.

Your fish will be perfectly okay you may find that he will eat properly if you reduce feeding.

Oscar fish As my oscars have grown they have had different preferences of food. I would feed them cichlid pellets then a worm or two. Now one won t eat worms or anything and the other eats all the pellets. Oscar will not eat pellets. Got this oscar 1 month ago at about 8 inches. Fed him bloodworms and crickets and krill and nightcrawler earthworms. I would try to feed him pellets but he didnt like. So now he really needs to stop eating the meaty foods and i really need him to eat the pellets treat time is over.

I had my oscar fish for about 7 months now but before a month he suddenly stopped eating pellets. He is still very much interested in eating shrimps and feeder fish but he is just not eating pellets. When i put pellets into his tank he try s few pellets and then spits them out. I tried starving him for 2 day but its not working. An oscar will eat a half bag of pellets in two minutes then regurgitate most of it try to eat what it regurgitated regurgitate that then lay on the bottom of the tank in misery for the rest of the day. The goal as stated in the premise of this article is to duplicate or simulate the natural diet of a wild oscar.
