13-06-2006 23:53 by okcoky	right can anyone help!i have 6 blue acaras in my tank plus a couple of large angels and catfish.2 different females have laid eggs but both of these have been eaten/fungus.Before you say it i have six so that i could get a breeding pair but im not sure if i have as a (male i think) swam over them and seemed to " do his thing" and then protected them but no babies have appered.Could this be a female ?I saw the 2 females laying(at different times and this male swan over the eggs shaking but thats it.Im confused and i just want to get a pair sorted out.

14-06-2006 08:27 by PaddyD	Blue acara's are quit hard to sex, it is certainly possible that your 'Male' is a female. It is also possible they are young and not sure what to do. It is a lso possible that your pH is too high, while blue acara's can breed in hard water, very hard water (or very soft water) should be avoided a pH of 7 would be ideal.

14-06-2006 18:58 by okcoky	The ph is 7.5and all other conditions are fine.I also do 1/4 tank water change per week.I will try to get a pic up as soon as they lay some more eggs which im sure will be soon again lol.p.s. the fish are about 2.5 inches to 3 inches long and about 6 months old i think.

The second thing is if it is under 55 gallons you are screwed it wont work you wont get any babbies. i reomend you get rid of 4 of your Oscars and just keep 2 if your tank is no bigger than a 55 gallon.
19-06-2006 22:40 by robert.pope	carman i think you miss read the fish name ? ACARAS not OSCARS i think you have a male but hes probably young! give it time or if u have another tank try what u think is the pair on their own. keep us up to date!
