Oscar Question

[Blue848]

I bought two oscars about a week ago. They are both about an 1.5". The problem is the one oscar puts all the pellets i drop in in his mouth and doesnt let the other one have any. I was just wondering what i should do, and should I maybe just keep the one oscar? Thanks

Try dropping some pellets in a couple of locations at the same time,this will give the other oscar a better chance.
what size is your tank?are there any other fish in the tank?

I would have to agree with Mickey. Spreading fish food throughout the entirety of a fishtank would give each of the people within the tank a chance to eat more.

What size tank do you have??? If you have a decent sized tank like a 90gal especially for 2 oscars then yeah put food on one end and food on the other. Now if you have them in like something small like a 10, 15, 30, 55, 60, or 75gal then I suggest you get rid of one if the tank is less then 55gal Ide get rid of both. You dont want a fish with the potential to get 14" to stay 5-6" in a 30gal. But yeah just spread the food out more.

I agree with the above suggestions. Also, you could try feeding frozen cubed foods and running them through the water with your fingers. The food will spread out enough so that the dominant one can't possibly get everything.
