06-05-2006 17:40 by mickyblu	i bred red terrors.. im not a chiclid person and inherited them from my brother... they gave birth about a month after. do they count?
06-05-2006 17:50 by Ed	Lovely fish micky but its gotta be oscars.
06-05-2006 19:03 by wayne	hi i have bred oscars 3 times from 2 different pairs and i also had a pair of females , weird aused to lay eggs 1 time a month for about 6 months until one of them paired off and bred then the other one paired off and bred and i had babies from the 2 pairs , no pics but i could do a diagram or an art attack

06-05-2006 20:21 by jigga	this is my oscars laying eggs. they do this every 2-3 weeks it takes about a week to get to free swimming stage and then i start to lose them as i have not had anywhere to put the fry. at the moment i have about 100 wrigglers that should be free swimming tomorrow and i am going to put them in a tank on their own.
06-05-2006 20:56 by rocko	very nice looking pair jigga. how big are they?

06-05-2006 22:18 by jigga	the fry are the dark patch
06-05-2006 22:18 by jigga	they are both about 13"
06-05-2006 23:37 by rocko	what size tank u got them breeding in?
07-05-2006 08:23 by jigga	they are in a 6x2x2
07-05-2006 11:36 by Ed	Cracking fish jigga .A lot of people and books say how easy it is to breed oscars but you rarely see it.
07-05-2006 12:06 by jigga	i think breeding is quite easy it is getting a pair which is hard. i was lucky when i was first interested in oscars these 2 were in my lfs. they were bought back by someone who had bought 4 and these 2 paired off and attacked everything. i was warned that they were particularly aggressive but i have them in with other fish no problem. i got them at about 4" over 2 years ago now.
07-05-2006 12:17 by Ed	I had 4 in a 6x2x2 but they never paired off ,they showed the usual signs but nothing happened so i sold them to a chinese restaraunt .I used to keep tropicals years ago now i am looking into rays oscars and texas chiclids ,i am in limbo at the moment due to a house move its hard to make your mind up but after seeing fso ray i think i have been swayed .
07-05-2006 13:39 by jigga	i have a 7-8" motoro ray in with my oscars with no problem
