Title: My Tiger Oscar Likes Peas
Post by: thebbqguy on July 08, 2015, 09:22:55 PM
My Oscar seemed to have some difficulties and was a little sluggish yesterday so as usual I got a little concerned that something was wrong. I did some reading and found the suggestion for some thawed frozen peas.

The Oscar loves them, but the Gold Severum can't quite figure them out just yet.

I guess I will try to work those in occasionally to help offset the pellets I've been feeding.

I tried a zucchini slice a few days earlier, but other than a bite or two the Oscar is not able to eat that just yet. I can tell that he's going to pretty much eat anything and everything once he's a little bigger.

Any suggestions for veggies my Severum might be willing/able to eat? He's not a peas fan or a zucchini fan just yet.

Make sure you take the shells off the peas.

Other vegetables to try would be - spinach,  Roman lettuce...  even watermelon.

By shell do you mean "skin"?
