the oscars laid their eggs last nite an this is the second time this has been done in six months but the pleco sucked em up last time so i seperated him this time an the eggs were safe but when i woke this morning the eggs were all spread over the tank like they had fanned them around an they do seem/ look fertilized so im wondering if any one would know of this happening an if they mite hatch ?

It sounds as if you've got a pair of Oscars that haven't quite made their minds up what they're doing. Remember that they are in an environment that is not natural so that can have an effect on whether they breed or not. If the eggs are fertilised, they will turn Brown, in fact there's a picture of fertilised eggs on the breeding Oscars page. Eggs that are not fertilised stay white. Are the Oscars still paying any attention to any of the eggs?

thx for the fast reply!! the oscars dont seem to be interested in the eggs but they still try an attack me if i put my hand near the water an the eggs havent really changed in color they seem to be of white so im am presuming they arent fertalized.thx again for the reply an ill keep posted on the progress.

if they are alone in their tank (oscars) and nobody interfere
with them.... there is a big chance it will hatched and become
wigglers. however, if they did not come to be fertilized, oscar
will consumed them in 3 days.

i just want to check, don't their eggs sticked to the slate or
to the bottom glass? the parent should not be moving away from the
eggs like this.

the eggs sure were stuck to the bottom of the tank , but i watched them today an the female was pushing/lifting the eggs with her mouth she didnt actually eat them , they are just on the bottom of the tank sought of floating/moving around the tank with movement from the parents, i seperated the plce from the oscars last night so the pleco dont suck the eggs down again ,as this time i was trying to be prepared for the eggs but of course they beat me to it,so i have my fingers crossed there might b e chance for the eggs yet .

if the picture is similar with your avatar, the eggs looks
like fertilized but scattered. it still have a chance to hatch.

good luck

good luck with the eggs!!!!!!!!! hope it works out
