Oscars Spawned

[Fishminded]

I got these Oscars a couple months ago from Jed. They are huge! And come to find out, they are around 10 years old. I had them in my 180 cichlid community for a while, and they were showing signs they wanted to spawn.

Last week, I put them in their own tank and 5 days later they spawned. I'm not sure yet if they fertilized them properly. We'll know in a couple of days....

Thanks for the compliments...

They're both around 12-14" ......and very thick....
The largest on, the one on the left, is probably the largest one i've personally seen...She's very thick and tall (belly to dorsal)...she makes my 12" Jag look small...

Before they spawned, I thought the larger one was the male, but it ended up being the other way around....
