Just a quick question about hotdogs and cichlids.

You can't kill Oscars with a hammer! :)

Would it kill them if I feed them just once?
I would go ahead, and feed them hotdogs.
 
If you're doing it as a cool trick, don't, there's better options.

Once a week I give my O's live food to give them some actvity, and to have a balanced diet. My roommates know it's the coolest thing to watch because usually theres 4 people including myself in front of the tank while I dump in a bag of ghost shrimp, toss in a few crickets, and soon, I'll be trying out dwarf frogs (I should post pictures of that on an ADF site lol)

cheers

oh btw, hot dogs will leave a nasty protein film on the waters surface, so although it wont kill your fish, it's just a PITA and makes your tank look like crap.
