bloodworms are fine for oscars but wont be the most suitable food for adults, my 11"er probably wouldnt be able to manage to get any down his throat- itd all go our his gills :lol:

lol well if he gets overexcited and eats too quick a lot of it comes out the gills, and the Red Devil is there to consume, its basically how he gets fed. But if Jimmy is really hungry, he'll hold it, and very slowly chew (?) and he can keep it almost all in.

ramshorns are fine, oscars eat alot of crustacians in the wild and are pretty good at digesting that stuff. i have seen Tracey mention a few times that her O's get garden snails- one will suck the snail out of its shell and the other will eat it whole, shell and all. your lucky to have ones that eat ramshorns!

Sweet. Yeah he chews them and sometimes gives you back the shreaded shell, such a charmer.

ooo garden snails, didn't think of that

just dont collect the snails from your garden if you use weedkiller, hate for you to lose your fish!

haha good point SF! snails can travel a good distance, i think youll just have to stop spraying around the house and start pulling weeds SW :lol:

i have to weed one garden, mum said if she isnt allowed to spray it i have to weed it (only gets done once every six months though so its a bit of a jungle :lol: )

lol, sounds like my place, i dont like spraying because of the frogs & rabbits, the frogs get anything that moves in our yard & i'd hate to lose them!
