My Oscer only likes to eat live food?? I tried pellets and I tried dried Shrimp he likes the dried shrimp but I was told that it is'nt good to just feed them that.. I dont know what I can feed it.. Can I get some advice please!!! He loves Feeders and he loves Crickets but I guess they are both bad for him as a stable Diet..

Like cichlids small Jaws said, don't feed it for a couple days then offer it pellets. If it still refuses, wait another day and try the pellets again. The important thing is don't give in (I know it's very hard to be strong when they do that hungry/feed me dance). An otherwise healthy fish will not let itself starve. After a while it will realize that it's only choices are pellets or no food, and it will eat the pelltes.
