I still say that a worm from my yard killed my 12 inch severum. Probably some fertilizer from the yard, or insecticide was in the earthworm. I wouldn't risk it if I were you.

We have a compost in our backyard where we raised bait for fishing trips until our Oscars came along. Now their favorite food is the earthworms from the compost. I believe they would eat them until they burst if I didn't maitain two or three per feeding. I have wondered about possibly introducing something deadly, so I wash the worms in the sink and only give my Oscars active worms. If they don't wiggle I throw them out.
I have tried feeding them frozen krill. They turn their 'noses' up to it.

Worms and crayfish are great for oscars.
