I've had the bag of The floating cichlid gold for almost a month I guess and my two oscars used to much on it like there was no tomorrow. Now they eat like two or three of the pellets and ignore the rest. I do also feed them the occasional blood worms and freeze dried shrimps and they eat all those w/ no problem. Am I dealing w/ two bratty Oscars or is it just that the food has gone bad?

I'd say they're probably just spoiled...holding out for the better food ;) You can try crushing it up and mixing it with some bloodworms, or maybe adding garlic. I use those garlic oil capsules (sold as supplements) - one capsule's worth of garlic oil is enough for one serving of pellets or flake.

Thanks @platytudes I'm going to try the garlic thing out. They need a balanced diet! I want them to be healthy! Lmao

I'd say they are being spoiled like previously stated. you can also buy garlic juice in a bottle to soak the pellets in, it always gets my fish to eat :)
