i have 2 little black oscars that i hope to breed when they get to that age.how do i sex them?what temperature do i have to keep them at?how big do they have to be?and do you have to feed them anything special?any advice would be appreciated.
 
And so the journey begins young jedi....For successful breeding of the mighty O, one must be sure of male and female...Yes, very hard it is to see....One must purchase 5-7 juveniles at 1-3 inch size....Then, and only then,,,,you're eternal love of the Oscar sex will be witnessed.....Swim they will and GROW into mighty giants.....Mightier the tank, mightier the Oscar....100g and up for such a paradise for two will be bring fruits....Foods from the planet Hikari should be daily served....Gifts made of beefheart, bloodworms, shrimp, earthworms, and mealworms shall be given every week, not every day.....

May the Force be with You....

haha g1
but back to the topic, sexing O's is difficut in aquaria,
honestly i've only seen it done once
 
It's pretty tough to do, females have what looks like two butt holes, and males have a big hole and a little hole. It takes some patience to see it and you can't tell until they get bigger. Looking at them out of their tank makes it easier to see, but I respect their privacy too much for that.
 
Can the Tiger dance in the Black------>yes....
