I have a pair of oscars in a 90 g tank. The substrate is sand. They found the spot and the appropriate rock to lay eggs. Now the entire rock is starting to get covered with sand from the tank. Is this a bad thing ???

Hi and welcome.
When your Oscars are ready to breed they will clear the rock, and clean it!

Good Luck!
