thats normal for oscasrs to only do it at night, Mine have spawned 3 times and only in the night every time. my O's acted like they were spawining(lip locking, fin vibrating, clearing off slate...) for about 4 mounths before any thing happened. So just be patient and they'll do it soon. How big are your oscars, alot of time they'll pair off small and spawn when there 8-9in.

Oh I know its the same with people, You have to go out with a girl for like a 4 months before you "get down to biz". And thats all yo want to do, but the girls are Always like I want to get to know you better first, or i want comitment first, or the worst we can still be friends. I guess oscars realy are like people.
They should sell hooker fish at the LFS lol Image
