Hi I have 2 tiger oscars that are clearing the bottom gravel away in the tank. But my question is. Is it possible for a blind oscar to breed?

Are you quite sure it's completely blind? in the wild, a fish like this would not survive.Obviously a blind o in captivity is much more likely to survive. Oscars rely on their excellent eyesight to do nearly every task. To be quite honest, I've never come across a blind o breeding so I couldn't honestly answer your question conclusively. However, if it cannot see the eggs, I don't see how it can successfully breed. Oscars use the eyesight to remove bad eggs, if it's blind, it will not be able to do this. They also ferociously defend the eggs, again, if it's blind, fish are going to be able to take advantage of this.

I will keep you posted. My oscars are the only fish in the tank. And the way I feed the blind one is by tapping the water so it comes up to me and i drop the food in front of its face, well more like hit the oscar in the nose with the food so it will just suck water ever is in front of it.
