feeding tiger and albino oscars

Question
I just got 2 tiger and 1 albino oscar. I have them in a 55 gallon tank. My question is since i have over a blue million guppies is it possible to use those as feeder fish? I have a large number of small guppies on a regular basis and was also wondering if they would be nutritional for the oscars? Thanks for your answer in advance.

Answer
Hi Phillip,
 Guppies would make excellent oscar food, but only if they are healthy (as they would be if you raise them yourself).  The problems come when people buy feeder goldfish and feed those to their oscars.  Feeder goldfish are notorious for carrying all sorts of diseases that easily transmit to an oscar.
