okay so i introduced a new oscar about 3 weeks ago and everything was good. well this last week my albino's breeding tube has been sticking out and she shows all the signs of wanting to breed. but the tiger has gotten aggressive and bang her sides up pretty bad and acts like he shows no intrest in her at all

If the breeding tube is sticking quite far out so it is very noticeable, it looks as though she is indeed get them to lay eggs. I'm surprised that she's still doing it if there is serious aggression. The male doesn't always show the same enthusiasm until the female starts laying the eggs. It's difficult to really pinpoint what's going on because I can't actually say it as it's happening. Just keep an eye on them, make sure that the mail doesn't get too aggressive. Sometimes breeding rituals can get quite rough but you certainly don't want any serious injuries occurring. I would imagine that you'll know what's happening by the end of today. If possible, take some photos of the female, I would like to try and have a look

well today the breeding tube isnt sticking out the tiger is getting more aggresive every day that goes by so im going to call the lfs and see what i can do thanks for everything youve been alot of help thank u so much

no problem, if the aggression is very bad, find a new name for the aggressor.

do you have a male and female for sure. just because one has decided to breed dose not mean you have a pair.if you have 2 females maybe this is why the show of agression is going on. its not uncommon for a female to become agressive to another female at times of breeding even if they have been happy together for months.

well i know my albino is a female for sure but i dont know about the tiger

I guess only time will tell. you could end up with a pair of females both laying eggs.)))hope not keep us posted.

im sad to announce but i had to find a new home for the agressor but hopfully ill find my albino a mate

Here I am again needing some serious advice....I have 2 oscars (an orange/gray one and an albino) who started getting very aggressive toward the other fish, so we moved all the other fish into a seperate tank and these 2 are not eating, very territorial (before I moved the other fish out) and are constantly nipping, almost looks like they are cleaning the top of the huge ship ornament that is in the tank. They are always together and neither are eating now. The orange one makes wierd faces and shakes like its having a siezure or something and shakes the rocks at the bottom of the tank...are they mating or are they sick?

When did they get off their food?

Last night, but they usually have a huge appetite

If my two Oscars in my 125 gallon tank were doing that, I would be expecting eggs at some stage, maybe a couple of days, maybe less. However, I'm not familiar with your Oscars so don't hold me to that
