I hear a lot on here about oscars eating out of their hand and letting the owner pet them, but mine usually avoids my hand, but notices me when i walk up to feed him and ignores strangers. Once put my hand in he just doesn’t get near it 
. I feed him and a jack dempsey live food like bloodworms, krill, brine shrimp. I take really good care of it and i’ve had it for well over a year or so. Any oscar owners or fih know-it-alls have any tips to get him to eat out of my hand?

I have a pair of 7-8 year old Oscars. They have their second batch of successfully hatched fry (free swimming for a day now.) The first batch has one surviver that is in it’s own tank. I know that I could remove them from their parents for a bigger # to survive but as a hobbyist, I have little resources of “takers” when the fry are big enough. I need suggestions with good filtration without sucking up the babies…I have tried panty hose on the end of my bio-filter tube but that doesn’t prevent fry from getting stuck to it. I also could use good suggestions for feeding them. I use brine shrimp and have used crushed flakes. With them in a big tank..how can I ensure they are finding the food?
I have been tryng to feed him Hikari baby pellets but i was going to try and give him brine shrimp for a varied diet. Is freeze dried brine shrimp okay for oscars?
