Yes, but not very often. It should be an occasional treat and not the staple part of the diet.

And FWIW, I know in the past I've said it's not good to feed things like chicken, pork, and beef to oscars but beef heart is an exception. Unlike the rest of the meat from those animals, the heart contains very little fat so it isn't as hard for fish to digest.

Yea but I find that they like insect’s better i.e. Crickets mealworm Flies anything really just nothing that could be poisonous i.e. spiders and if you decide to give them wild insect’s make sure that no chemical have been used in the area you are catching them
so i would recommend buythem at the lps
