Nicaraguan Oscars?

[SpinalFan]

Uhhh. So for a while now, I've had a 8" JD male, a 6" JD female, and a 6" Nicaraguan female together in a 125g. All 3 were lazy and hid - barely swam.

On the weekend I was given a nice 10" albino Oscar. I'm not sure of the sex. For the first bit, all 3 avoided it's swim path. Now they all swim VERY harmoniously, but I think my Nicar female is trying to breed with it! I don't know how to sex an Oscar, but does this sound far out there?

They can try but won't anything come of it.

Oscars can't breed outside the Oscar family. Nothing is related closely enough to produce viable offspring. Hence why there isn't a hybrid with Oscars and anything

Pretty much as above. I mean it's not like it's impossible, but no one got anything out of it... yet.

Its not possible. Nics tend to do this. Mine swims with and looks like she is courting a female syn I have. Nics are feisty and almost seem playful, so I think that has a lot to do with it.

Weird at least she's active now and done 24/7 cave-dwelling. Thanks for the insight.
