I have a 140g with one oscar,1 id shark, and one black finned shark. The shark loves the pellets. Would tubex worms work.

Like cichlids small jaws said, just wait a couple days then offer the pellets again. A normal, healthy oscar will not let itself starve. When he gets hungry enough, he'll eat.

Also, I hope you know that id sharks can get over 4 feet long.

And is this what your black finned shark looks like?

If so, it is actually a brackish fish. They start out as freshwater, but as the mature, they need more & more salt (more than an oscar would be able to tollerate).
