When the gut contents of wild oscars have been examined, the average is about 50% insects (and similar animals) and the other half are Corydorus catfish.
If you were able to breed a large amount of Cory's, that might work, if not......a quite expensive feeder.
But beyond nutrition, 2 weeks of QT is barely enough time to spot many aquatic diseases, that store bought feeders carry.
All it takes is one diseased feeder, and your oscars are toast.
