Hi Arcas4u,

You're probably not feeding your oscar "Enough" :) Yes, they are pigs and you really need to feed them well. Try using food of different sizes also, so the oscar can concentrate on the larger pieces. If you really get worried about your other fish, use a separator in your tank, or get your oscar hooked on "live" food and he'll let the other fish have the pellets etc...
