Treats For Fish?

[megos1]

Once again I have an Oscar question for you all. What kind of "treats" can I feed my Oscar. Normally, I feed him Omega One Cichlid Pellets 2x/day. And NEVER any feeders. I read that they can have chopped meat and lettuce, etc. What do you guys recommend/give your fish????

TIA

anything meaty like earthworms, bloodworms, and tubifex worms.

Don't give him meat or anything with fat in it. Fish don't metabloize like mammals, and can't handle fat very well. In addition to what Blazeherd recommended, you can give him frozen beefheart (it has very little fat), frozen or freeze-dried krill, frozen bloodworms, salad shrimp (one of my O's favorites), peas (My red oscar loves peas and they also aide in digestion). There is a huge variety of things he can have that he'll love.

Mine loves earth worms. I dig them in the back yard and give him 1 or 2 every 2 or 3 days.
