I know this may sound totally retarded but can a oscar and a Jack d mate up???? Please don't laugh at me

Unless it is a really closely related which it is not, No

There are some hybrid Cichlid that have been around for a while. However, an Oscar is a completely different species to the Jack Dempsey, even though they are both still a Cichlid. It's not like a Jack Russell and a Yorkie being able to produce offspring, even though they are two completely different breeds of dog, they are basically still the same species.I suppose it's a little bit like a red & Tiger o being able to breed

LMFAO! Marcus you kill me!!!

The pic is funny i wanna see the jackO next

i was told by the breeder that JD male occasionally fertilized any eggs
of fishes that comes close in contact especially if they had been
tank mate for a long time. it is what they call accidental fertilization
resulting to cross breeding. this can only happen if you have a permissive
female oscar... because there are times female oscar won't allow any intruder
in her nest...that is where it normally fail to fertilized the eggs.

but i love marcus' cross breed.
it looks like an alien dog to me.
