I have two full grown Tiger Oscars in a 100 gallon tank. This is the 5th time i have seen them caring for a batch of eggs but to date no fry. Does the fact that they are laying eggs mean I have a breeding pair or is it possible that I have two femailes. They are both caring for the eggs and are doing a fine job of keeping the pleco away but i havent actually seen them lay the eggs so am unsure if i actually have a breeding pair.

You can view them through a live camera feed at 174.0.177.37

what colour are the eggs??? of they are white then they are not fertilized. if they are tan then they are fertilized. as for if you have a pair then fertilized eggs would mean yes.
as for why the dont hatch it is possible that one of your o's is infertile.

hope some of this helps....

right now they are white. How long after they are fertilized do they change color ?

ok so they are definitly not fertilized. Will two femailes in the tank do this or does it require a mating pair before she will lay the eggs.? Is it also possible that the male just doesnt know what he is doing yet

Thanks for your quick replyies

a couple of females will go through the same ritual as a pair will. however it is possible that you do have a male that is still not sexually mature. the best way to be sure is to watch them when they spawn and check their sexual organs. this way you will know for sure if you have a male and female.

Hey... As Knicki said way cool video friend....
I just want to ask. If you buy a pair of (any fish) from the LFS the chances are they are brother and sister or two brothers etc etc. Is this not the case? Maybe it would be better to buy them from diffrent stores if you are going to breed them.
