CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

I got two large Oscars the other day.They breed like rats byt every time make a meal of the eggs.I tried taking them out but get problems with fungus.I tried covering the tenk but to no avail.They do breed every 2 - 3 weeks.The male is about 13" and the female 11".Please give me advice that works because nothing seems to work.I even removed all other fish but they are still canibals!!!!:mad: ::confused:

How long have they been breeding and how many times?

usually when oscars first start to breed they will eat their eggs, but as they get older they learn not to. It just takes time, are you sure you have a male and a female because sometimes 2 females will go through the whole thing but will eat the eggs. One of the females will take on the males role.

Good Luck
