[@Mrx-cz7sw]

I like Oscar fish so much❤️

[@streetsmart73]

Thank you for the clip and useful information on the oscar fish. In fact, i love the oscar very much. Currently, I have reds, tigers and one wild oscar. I bagged each one of them when they were barely 1.5" in size

[@prashanth8206]

What is the difference in red and wild oscar

[@mofofish_]

Great video, thanks for sharing these beautiful fish. My all time favorite fish in the hobby! 👍🏽

[@michaelwisdom4136]

so i’m coming back to this video to say this works like a charm. i started feeding pellets when my oscar was around 3 months old and it literally changed his colors completely. he’s about 11 months old now and doesn’t like them anymore but mealworms also enhance color

[@fredlinpeter9172]

The colour of oscar is good .Keep doing more videos

[@davidmendoza5982]

Muchas gracias por todos los consejos, mis Oscares lucen con tanto color!! Que a mi mamá que no le gustaban les termino gustando, ya hice todo lo que aparece en tu video y llevo 1 semana así y lucen mejor ahora 😍

[@ashscichlids7057]

Great video!

[@markhaunert5029]

New subscriber. Excellent information. I personally like to give them big nightcrawlers. Dont know if it helps coloration but they sure get excited

[@FishFound]

Thanks and cool!

very informative video .. gives me more idea thank you for sharing your knowledge sir.

[@feitaren]

Yay thumbnails!

[@mobilespy5384]

I use optimum quick red

[@Apostate_Maverick]

much appreciated, really informative... but a quick question.. I'm confused with "gut loaded" insects, plz explain..

[@codypacker5826]

He means larger insects, such as worms which have a lot of meat to them as opposed to flies and such.

[@Apostate_Maverick]

@@codypacker5826 thank you Cody..🙏

[@ilc_mike.2241]

@@Apostate_Maverick nah thats bullshit He means that the insect you feed him just ate,so that their guts are loaded with vitamins and all that good shit Dubia roaches do great and are easy to breed

[@stargod3064]

Meal worms are easy to gut load, u can feed the mealworms carrots n other vegetables which the fish will absorb when they eat them.

[@Apostate_Maverick]

@@stargod3064 thanks for the info..

[@dianabrianjackson5740]

I have a question how do you use the astaxanthin powder?

[@deveenchansuka6693]

Thanks for video

[@bjornborg5674]

Your Oscar is beautiful. ❤

[@jitheshsathyan6024]

Thank u 👍👍👍👍 Jitheshsathyan

[@Nepalitube10]

Hey Can i ask a question ? Why my oscar is all the time hungry ? I am scared of it

[@FishFound]

That is completely normal! Oscars and many fish in general act hungry even if they are not because in the wild they need to eat as much as possible one time because food is not always readily available.

[@rajthevar7687]

Oscar tend to change its color. Put something new in your tank and observe its color. If they are in stress they will change their color to dull.

[@NCO544]

👍👍👍😉

[@sreekanth5768]

Which breed is this? Tiger??

[@Firefly-FR]

Thank it help a lot

[@peaceful4you408]

So frozen shrimp enhances their colors? I only feed my Oscar frozen shrimp and pellets.

[@wsmvin2042]

Hi,im new to this hobby,i want to ask,why my oscar just swim at the top of tank and didnt eat anything that i give,i give worm cube and pellets,is there any problem?

[@trevoris18]

This is kinda late but I'll answer for anyone else wondering the same thing. Assuming your Oscar is healthy he's probably on a pellet strike. Oscars are very moody fish it's very common for them to refuse certain foods, mine is also completely uninterested in frozen blood worms. The best thing to do is break them like a spoiled child. My Oscar refused pellets when he was young and would only eat want freeze dried shrimps but freeze dried shrimp aren't a nutritionally complete food like a high quality pellet. So I held fast and would offer him a few pellets twice a day if he would refuse he'd get nothing. Luckily Oscars are very greedy and he accepted pellets after a few days of no food.

[@wsmvin2042]

@@trevoris18 Thanks for your reply,my old oscar has died due to fighting to another albino oscar,then the albino also died due to a problem im also not very confirm.Now i have a new guys,the have been doing well.But thanks for your reply,im appreaciate it.

[@the_n00bguy]

[@Carlos-jp6mg]

I fed my albino oscar some goldfish last thing I noticed he as well turned orange

[@Zandu666]

Don't do it bro. goldfishs have oil in their skin

[@paachu579]

I have 6 oscars. copper oscar, albino, tiger and wild oscar

[@jonyleche3549]

Great video and thanks for it but I'm actually not a fan of red stripes on Oscars I more of a fan of how yours looked with really dark black and beautiful orange kinda gold stripes

[@brieflean]

How much do full grown tiger Oscar’s sell for?

[@priyankachanda9387]

My jack Dempsey's colour is fading away 😭😭😭😭 it's becoming greyish... Please tell me how to take care of it so that it can get back it's natural colour... please help

[@alexanderdj201087]

[@kunalthakare7110]

[@SAURABHKUMAR-uo9if]

can oscar fish live alone

[@GurpreetKaur-qo8ch]

A good video and very informative. I also have a Oscar that is losing color. So thx for telling👍👍😊. And what about the 40 gallon aquarium

[@FishFound]

The 40 gallon is cycled but I decided I want to actually scape it, so it'll take a little more time. Sorry!

[@sujaykarmakar9417]

My tank is 2.5ft length, 1.5 ft height, 1 ft wide .Is this tank perfect for 1 oscar fish?

[@garrie6666]

No, Oscars need a large tank some grow to 15 inches

[@quintonobrien-garvey2539]

It has to be a minimum of 4 feet long, 2 feet wide, and 2 feet tall

[@Apostate_Maverick]

70 gallons at least.. check the capacity of your tank on www.firsttankguide.net/calculator.php

[@Draken8998]

I have 2 juvenile size of oscar and both of em were tiger oscar and i dont see any red/orange colors on them can you tell me why?

[@calvinjoshua2913]

juveniles dont have much colors, the colors gets promoted as they grow. Depends on ur enviroment setup and feeding

[@samlim6352]

I love those predators fish

[@NolaFusionskitchen]

That’s exactly what I use

[@FishFound]

Nice!

[@lancelistones6782]

I have a baby oscar and it's on a 15 galloon and I diveide it to two the other side is flower horn is it okay for them?since I dont have hikari cichlid I usually feed him using shrimp

[@XIscopedXI]

If they are together eventually they will fight and the flower horns will fight till death

[@Free_Free_Palestine0]

You need a larger tank

[@r_55_nabeeltanwar94]

I feed tetra bits they like it But o also want my oscar to eat optimum pellets how can i bring a habbit of wating optimum pellets

[@r_55_nabeeltanwar94]

Can u plss suggest me to gave them a habbit of eating optimum pellets

[@FishFound]

I am not sure, but I just didn't feed Jeff for a week and he weaned onto pellets.

[@saravananayiraram4958]

Which water is best for oscar

[@Free_Free_Palestine0]

Clean water

[@seanmichaelcalendas2567]

What is that black background?

[@FishFound]

Cheap cardboard (poster board)

[@hosearmando9030]

How many liters/gallons is your tank?

[@FishFound]

55 gallons

[@hkh2316]

Will the color enhancer in hikari cause side effects?

[@FishFound]

I have no idea. My oscar has had no problems so far but if there are problems it is probably too early to tell.

[@Constantine_Cvl8]

it's just carotenoids, the only thing it will do to fish is make them more red/orange.

[@monicahupp68]

HOW CAN YOU TELL IF YOUR OSCAR IS DEPRESSED?

[@terrawulf]

Inactive, doesn't eat, swimming at the bottom,etc.

[@KISAKI120]

We can feed chicken meat?

[@FishFound]

Not sure, sorry.

[@johannepiper6836]

Inject them with red food coloring

[@r_55_nabeeltanwar94]

My oscar doesnt eat optimum pellets

[@farhananish4060]

My Oscar fish eat optimum pellets

[@bradscanlon]

Are earthworms good to be fed to Oscars

[@FishFound]

Yes oscars love earthworms, make sure they are from a clean environment though (no pesticides for example).

[@bradscanlon]

How often do I need to feed an Oscar? Can they be fed with bloodworms?

[@FishFound]

@@bradscanlon I would feed once a daily, if you have a small Oscar, twice works too. And yes you can feed bloodworms, I actually made a video on feeding my Oscar some bloodworms.

[@irpannurhakim9551]

😊👍

[@bryanmarkvillanueva2542]

i have 4 oscar and they are in my 75g community tank, im feeding them KOI FOOD with color enhancer. do you think can i continue to feed them with those food or should i replace them with HIKARI gold... by the way im hobbyist here in the philippines... koi food cost me almost 2-3$ for 450g and hikari food cost 5$ for 250g....

[@markbailey-hm8cu]

Feed them ox heart

[@Sauv_27]

Asthaxanthin powder is not recommended . A very little amount is required and absorbed by the fish so 2 days shrimp in a week is enough and with asthaxanthin pellet is more than enough. Remember food pellets makers know more than fish keeper that's thier buisness.😇 It's good for u and ur fish.

[@sparkles1032]

Not all. Some are just about making money. Going to start my brand in a few months. Designed for cichlids. Well my fish

[@eversafter13]

Great video! Subbed. I was supposed to pick up my Oscars today but they didn't come in. 😿 Hopefully tomorrow.

[@FishFound]

Thanks man! Good luck with the fish! What size are you getting them at?

[@eversafter13]

I'm getting them small so I can watch them grow!

[@FishFound]

@@eversafter13 nice

[@Venomynous]

Never buy fish the day they come in to the store. Always allow the store to quarantine them for at least 2 weeks.

[@eversafter13]

Quarantine is good but 2 weeks seems a tad excessive. I got them from a trusted distributor and they went into a tank with only a few long-lived hearty fish.

[@hw534]

🤙🏾

[@thiccboibray3780]

why do i feel like oscers tank is so empty lol

lel, tank looks big but still too small for full grown
