oscar cichlid food

Question
if feeder fish are not good for your Oscar then what kind of fish, other living aquatic animals are?

Answer
Hi Marcus,
 Actually, the feeder fish themselves are good for the oscar, the problem is that all too often they harbor parasites which are really bad for the oscar.   

 Other than feeding your oscar with dead stuff (e.g., chunks of food fish bought at the grocery store) or specially prepared fish foods, such as pellets or cichlid sticks, you might consider feeding him crickets.
