bet walmart sells fish food

 

[mikes86ttop]

Yes they do but hes a little picky on that stuff?? I think he would rather die than eat that stuff for some reason? I had a little left over and he still would not eat...well see if hes hungry enuff for it in the am

Mine used to love worms and beefheart. I'm sure he would eat hamburger meat. Nice looking fish BTW.

I had a friend with two very large oscars, He'd feed them left over shiners when we came back from fishing.... Any small fish would work for them.

My bud's would gobble up hamburger balls..
Gold fish were a real treat for him, too.

 

[mikes86ttop]

Awsome!!! Just got done cleaning the tank!! Looks like oscar ripped the divider down that the gold fish were in...yup three gold fish slaughtered! Looks like he wasnt even hungry seeing he didnt even eat them..well looks like he was playing with them! Nice good hang over cleaning slaughtered goldfish scales and guts...happy memorial day!!!
