My New Oscars..

[reenigrl]

I'm not sure if this is where i should be posting but I have no idea where else I should have posted....


Yesterday I bought a albino oscar (he's white and has a little orange on him) and a black one, (hes black and has a little red) They are both around 3 inches in size and last night my albino ate two danio's (inbetween 1cm to 2cm in size) I was wondering if I should just put the feeder fish in their tank and they will eat when they want without problems, or should I just feed them a quantity per day?
I have lots of danio's that is what I am feeding them for now, but I have no idea in quantity, soon I will feed them different things but just wanting to know how much is enough...

Try the African Ciclid forum... I'm pretty sure they fall into that catagory.

The New World Cichlid section would be best for this. This is the betta section - for Fighter Fish.

I am not a fan of using feeder fish, so I know little on the subject but personally I think you should feed the danios in a controlled way, so the fish can't gutz them all.

Also, are the danios the only food you give the oscars? I don't know about oscars, but most fish do best with a varied diet - pellets etc. with live food as treats.

Splish is right- new world, not african.

I just broke 2 toes I think, after I sprained my knee yesterday... I'm really not thinking that clearly LOL.
