Oscar Fish Breeding: "Many breeders use frozen adult brine shrimp, live crickets, thawed beef heart, trout chow, live black worms or freeze-dried euphausiid shrimp (ocean plankton). Mealworms are nutritious, but too messy and not popular.
4. Provide The Right Water
With all that fish food, water changes become mandatory. Aquarium filters are helpful but can’t deal with the load for more than a few days at a time. Change 25 to 50 percent of the aquarium water at least once a week (more often is better).
Oscar fish eat and grow well at 76 to 78 degrees Fahrenheit, but spawning is triggered by elevating the temperature to 82 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. This requires large aquarium heaters (not less than 5 watts per gallon). Unfortunately, oscars think heaters are toys to be tossed about and smashed into the aquarium’s sides. Select a single, large, solid state submersible heater with a dialed temperature control and no less than five adhesive tabs for locking it onto the side of the aquarium"
