They'll have a better chance of survival if you move them to another tank dude.

Welcome to the site!
I've heard you should give new parents a few chances
to raise the babies themselves first. Then if they are not succsesfull after a few tries you should then do it yourself.
Other people on the site know a lot more than me about the subject I just know from what i've read on this site.
Good luck to ya!

Hey, welcome to OFL!
Personally, I'm with Miah on that one, thinking the best thing about breeding Oscars is anyway watching the parents caring for their young. Maybe they'll get the trick after a few tries. But if your main intention is raising babies asap, you'd be safer of course removing the eggs. Think people use an airstone or so to imitate the parents' fanning.

If I were a guy, I\'d have probably needed only 30% of the amount of words to say this

Yeah if I ever get a breeding pair I will let them have a go at raising the fry a few times on thier own before I get involved.

if u r in a rush 2 hv babies then remove the flat rock where the eggs r on put it in a seperate tank with a airstone under it and drop sum meth blue in the tank to ensure the eggs dont get fungus on them.
pesonally i would let my oscars have about 3 goes at raising their babies and if they dont succeed then ill hatch them myself.
if yr oscars are happy in their tank they should spwan fairly often.
