Male or female?

I believe it is very difficult to tell, you have to wait until the are pretty large and they have to be vented, but even then its not too easy. I think the only hard and fast way to tell is when you find eggs in the tank haha

How big is yours?
 
well i have a larger one in a dif tank but i wanted to try and breed them so i got a new smaller one but very tiny lol about 1-2" but i wanted to try and get another of the oposite sex but i didnt want to have to buy 15 of them just to get males and females haha
 
Yea it is extremley difficult to sex oscars
 
females get some what of a hump on their heads
and you can see their sex organ clearly.
btw, females lay eggs lol.
