Live foods for Oscar?

[AlyKat]

I'm currently raising guppies for Oscar and Jack...but I'm really bored with the whole guppy thing. I was thinking about going another route...what else can I raise that will breed readily, quick and with large numbers, be fun to watch and would be good to feed? Convicts? Something else? Thanks! *twirlysmi

Convicts. They'll be your best bet.

Or a pair of brichardi if you're willing to maintain the higher pH and harder water needs of Tangs, and have at least a 20gal tank to devote to the pair only.

I'll say. I had 50-60 of them in my tank(mostly fry), AND THEY WOULDN'T STOP BREEDING!*ALL*

Awesome...the guppies are in a 20 now...I'm gonna feed them to Oscar and get a pair of convicts! I know somewhat about those...I don't know what brichardi are...
