Bingo! use a bigger plant pot holder or piece of slate. The problem might be, because the items you're using for them to lay eggs on are too small. Remember the part i mentioned, about difficult angle's? That might be it! Those fish are beautiful and massive. Please! get them something larger to lay eggs on and watch the magic happen. They deserve a treat!
Its bigger in person trust me its big enough the angle in pic makes it look small I literally just put it in a week and a half ago. Im gonna get more soon. They are picking at it like crazy rn cleaning it im so excited but idk if she is gonna lay the eggs hope I wake up to some.
Ive had the albino one since it was like 1-2inch she has been beaten the crap out of from jumping for food and has jumped out of the tank before she was a beauty now shes all scarred up.
All good advice.
1. Cold water changes. Frequent changes. Clean gravel.
2. Keep water a little warmer. 82F?
3. Live food - crickets. If you have fed before and they ate them this could help. No feeders.
4. Large flat rock/ pot. Seems ok. They have already layed eggs on it.
I haven't bred them. I believe Jex has. If they continue to lay eggs but they never turn brown or if the oscars eat them the male may be infertile/ sterile.
