I bought food for fish animals in a shop nearby, but do not know how many times you can feed my fish Oscar. how many fish feed fish that I can feed my Oscar? How many times can I feed with food fish?

None. Use feeders, especially in a pet store is an excellent way of introducing the disease parasites, algae in the tank and the fish infected. In addition, the flow does not give all the necessary nutrients it needs, which may cause problems with retention of the disease in the head in the future. And if you ever decide to stop feeding feeders, is particularly common at the Oscars, will reject any food and feeding others. You'd better feed him a good quality pellet food, some frozen / thawed to the blood, or frozen brine shrimp or thawed krill, cut pieces of shrimp or squid, Beefheart (frozen or thawed or fresh from the store, worms, worms, food, crickets, a couple of peas is a good open one or two times a week. The key is to vary the diet during the week, but the food pellets as the primary food base for him. Good place to check at the Oscars: http://www.oscarfish.com/ Good luck.

Can you recommend a good little filter chilids for Africa?

I'm about to start a new tropical fish tank chilids Africa. I did my research on fish, but all it takes is finding a small filter that is very cheep (£ 0 – £ 15) and is not to jump on the sand, not the whole tank! Thank you very much higher write back soon

Most African cichlids can be very dirty. But if you want something that is cheap and does not bother me to have some space-tank constructed can simply use a filter ATI Hydro-sponge or other similar mark. They are powered by an air pump, and should be deleted when you change the water every two months. Just look for something that will be of adequate size for your tank. http://www.atisponge.com/Products/HydroSponge/tabid/77/Default.aspx
