Oscars are generally voracious feeders and highly carnivorous. They will readily take a range of live and frozen foods including AI Naturals Frozen Bloodworm, along with dry food such as Tetra Cichlid Sticks. Oscars will also readily feed on smaller fish, if they can fit it in their mouth they will eat it. It is extremely important, however, not to overfeed your Oscars as this can lead to fatty degeneration of the liver and compromise their health. Oscars are notorious for developing a problem known as Hole in the Head in which patches of tissue degenerate around the head leaving large holes in the tissue. This has previously been linked to a parasite known as Hexamita but more recently it is suggested that it is due to poor diet. Feeding of good quality foods and addition of water soluble Vitamin B and C as well as improved water quality should fix the problem.
