> stop feeding them live fish. They will live a short life because of head rot. The feeder fish give them a bacterial skull disease and exactly what its called is how it looks…head rot. I had a oscar that I got when he was about 4" and I fed him feeder fish for 5 years, he grew to almost a foot and all through his life he had head rot. I was too dumb then to know anything about it but I would treat the disease, it would go away and come back twice as bad. They are holes in the head. Its nasty.

Yes, this is true. Also known as “Hole in the Head Disease”. Looks like little crators in there head. Feeders make fish more aggressive as well. So best if you try to get them over on frozen or pellet food. Will keep there color as well as make them grow quicker!.
