in addition to the specific brand or type of food you choose to feed your fish, also remember that variety is a very good thing
feed your fish a variety of live / frozen / freeze dried / flake / vegetables
be consistent with your rotation
the fish will often tell you what they want more or less of by watching their day to day behaviour
obviously only those foods that are good for your particular fish's diet
i just started using this frozen stuff called
"carnivore minced life line"
it comes in a square package comprised split into little pink cubes.
this is becoming a favorite of my cichlids and clown loaches, and is very protein rich

the life line stuff is great stuff.
I feed lots of live black and glass worms like a 1/2 lb a week.
For africans spiritunalla (sp?) or kelp are the holy grail

Stupid question of the day from me.....
When using frozen food, do you feed the fish the food while it is still frozen......or do you thaw it out? My wife went to Petsmart the other day and they convinced her to buy this $10 pack of frozen food (assorted blocks) and said it would be great for a 9" oscar. The box doesn't say if I should thaw it or not.......but common sense seems to tell me I should. But then......if I thaw it, I am sure it's going to fall apart.
I've never used frozen foods......so I am a dummy when it comes to this department.

Gulp, on your oscar, try feeding him shrimp and chicken. Raw. I get frozen raw shrimp and thaw em out for about an hour and then peel em, cut em into bite size pieces and feed. Probably 1 every other day would be good for him. It's mainly for feeding my arowana, but the oscars love em too. I also feed him chicken sometimes, raw. They love that too, but it's a bit more messy. Your new cat will eat any leftovers.
