I had a Oscar well two for quite some time, and I know they are good for
drama, mine would sulk if I did not give him cheese curls, go figure, you
can imagine all the fish people who said oh don't feed him that, well he
lived a long life and ate them for years and loved them. if we ate them and
did not share he would bang off the glass...ugh I figured it was more
healthy to eat the cheese then get brain damage...
just watch him close, i dont know how much difference there is between
expensive and cheap ich treatments to be honest....
