Don't hold your breath, you will probably wait for at least a year, more than likely 15 or 16 months before anything happens. A lot of people write articles without actually experiencing what they are talking about. Yes, pairing Oscars off is achieved by having several in the tank. It doesn't however happen overnight like you are led to believe. You will have to wait for many months before you have any conclusive evidence of a breeding pair.


It certainly fun to watch though, I been observing my Oscars and the sort of behaviour they are showing now seems to indicate that we have at least one pair in the tank.

I know, I wouldn't expect anything soon from them. I got my current breeders about a year ago, and they were already large then, and they just started breeding. I don't really have room at the moment all the babies that two breeding pairs would provide anyways. I didn't get the new oscars just to breed, I would have taken them anyways, I just hate to see fish in such bad conditions.

With Nemo, I'm sure it will take at least a year before he is ready to breed. I hope he breeds at some point, but I know it won't be for awhile.

Here is a pic of Nemo from this morning Nov. 4th

He is starting to get some orange coloration

I think nemo is going to be a red oscar

Could I get a red since his parents are a tiger and an albino? I thought he would have to be one of what his parents are.
