Oscar Breeding?

[mr limpet]

I have two 9 inch Red(although they're Orange.lol)Albino Oscars in my 90 gallon tank.Have them by themselves for about 4 months in this tank.Always get along well,never any aggression towards one another.They are constantly cleaning a large piece of slate with their mouths I have in the tank.And moving gravel around.They have been doing this for about 2 months.Other than that they show no breeding rituals,like lip locking or shaking towards one another.Never any breeding tubes showing either.Im thinking they might be 2 females?Really wanted to have a breeding pair.They are in my avatar.

But do you think they are 2 females because if they were males they'd be beating the hell out of each other?

You really wouldn't know until you vented them, or seen the breeding tubes. They are still young so things could change but its good their getting along.

Oscars are very weird about what other fish they will breed with. They will only pair off with one other Oscar in their life. If it isn't their fish, it isn't their fish.
