well the past two weeks i've seen pairing from my male jag and my oscar (unknown sex) and there are breeding pits everywere. There is also a female jaguar in this tank which was a breeding pair with my other jaguar but it seems he may of ditched her. Now this morning i went to feed them and the oscar is gaurding one pit extremely agressively and is more concentrated in keeping the pit away from others than eating. She is chasing away the male jaguar and female and i can definitely see a breeding tube i'm still not sure which sex although i am pretty sure female as the breeding tube's tip is pink. Does anyone have any ideas on this as i am sure puzzled

many thanks
 
hey man i don't know what to tell you but with my cichlids i had two oscars who where huge and one day i went out for about 6 hours .and come back to see my green terror had his head bit off and the O's where the only ones who where big enough to eat him........... so hurried and set up my empty 30 gallon and then my texas who beat up my new red devil but in a month the devil flipped and beatdown the texas and made him leave his home and into a corner so he was put into the other 30 gallon with o's and around December i look on my lava rock and there where some eggs......:D but my devil had a hump like all male devils do and he was only guarding them then later i found out my O's where paired and the male would be banging on the glass soon he and his mate dug pits so when i take themall to south carolina and get every single one into my 75 then my rd beat and killed my male o but his girl would stand up for him by hidding him and fighting of the devil but she was to late and the devil still will guard eggs soon as other fish dig there pits also i don't know o's for making hybrids;);););):D:D:D:D
 
there is a possibility of them breeding, but i have heard that oscars have a unique breeding "ritual", and therefore won't breed out of their genus.

and to the guy that responded before me, a few hundred years ago someone invented a really nice thing called punctuation. they invented it to make reading easier, and when i read your post, i thanked those great inventors, because now i know how hard it would be to read if we didn't have punctuation. that is all.
 
Does punctuation include the first letter of a sentence being a capital one?
 
Oscars have the strange habit of "going through the motions" with different fish. I have heard of this same occurence with Oscar and Midas, Oscar and Vieja sp., and now with Oscar and Jag. I have never heard of a successful breeding though...if they do breed...best of luck, and I will buy a few from you...lol.
 
I don't think punctuation includes first-letter capitalization, but if we have to correct the grammar and sentence construction of others, it would be wise to correct our own first.
