Oscar breeding

Their behavior is spot on but those eggs definitely aren't fertilized.
It looks like there is an HOB filter right above their breeding site. My only thought is that is creating a current that is making it hard for him to fertilize them.
I've had Oscars pair off several times but to my recollection I've only had free swimming from from one of those pairings and I've seen others report similar results. I suspect infertile Oscars are a fairly common thing.
Whether you ever get fry out of them or not, it's beautiful watching their breeding behavior.
Watch them for aggression toward one another. Sometimes after repeated failures they get frustrated and take it out on each other.

ya its a canister filter intake I have Tried to put sponge over it but they just always bite the crap out of me lol thats Oscars for you
and also they JUST laid the eggs I dont think you can tel if they are fertilized that fast but maybe im wrong
Ohhh!!! Then I may be wrong!
I didn't realize that they were that fresh. This batch may turn out for you then.

ya the female was laying them in the Video so there is about double the amount of eggs now than at the end of the video so Im really hoping this is it! Should I leae the lights on over night to deter the pleco from eating the eggs? I moved the pictus cat but dont have anywere else to move the pleco at the moment but if I really need to I can divide the tank
