my oscars spawned for the first time today.still not sure if its two females yet .if one is a male what are the odds of the first spawn being succesful.the only fish that spawned for me were cons.
Most new world cichlids get there first couple of spawns wrong. But it depends on the fish, all of my cichlid pairs have never had a bad spawn.
They should spawn in about 3-4 weeks.
Do they still have thier breeding tubes out?
males look like this:
What color are the eggs? If they are golden/brownish color then they are fertilized. If they appear to be white, then they are unfertilized. Oscars also tend to eat their eggs, so watch out. =P
