Oscar Breeding Indicators

[Blue Ice]

I have a pair albino O's. They started to pair and isolate themselves in the corner of the tank. Most of the time, i see them driving incoming juvs away from the corner. So i removed the other juvs and transferred them into another large tank. Lately, the two had been cleaning the corner of the tank that they frequent.

Are these indicators that the Oscar is about to lay eggs?

If Yes, are there any other indicators that i havent mentioned?
