    Thanks for the replies!! Ha ha.........................No, I feed them all large floating cichlid pellets. Believe it or not-that huge goldfish(aka Admiral ShinySides), was once a feeder guppy, only an inch long. He survived Dr. Oscar. No he's as big as him.

    Very cool! I had all sorts of oscars and cichlids before I started a reef, they are very bit as exciting and personable as a SW fish. Just be very careful to never use any type of copper medication in that tank if you want to go to SW later on with it ;)
