I just rescued an oscar from someone who was going to let it go in the Hudson River. It wasn't taken care of very well but I think I can help it recover enough to bring it to work and find a good home for it. It was only fed feeder fish and it looks like it has some internal parasites. I have it on pellet food now (wasn't too hard since it wasn't fed in a couple weeks). The internal parasite foods that I have found only seem to come in tiny pellet form. Is there anything I can get that would be a little easier for this guy to eat? The little parasite med pellets just fly all over the tank and end up getting sucked up by the filter eventually.
 
You could try stuffing them in a larger food? Like pieces of shrimp or bigger pellets etc.
