Does any body know if there would be anyway that i could get my young 4 inch oscars to breed? I tryed puting them in a tank together but i dont think they are old enough yet i know they become sexually matured until 9 or so inches but i thought maybe somebody might have some crazy secret. So im going to ask for your opinion?

oscars wont breed untill at least 9 inches as you said.
Sorry no secrets on getting them to breed younger

Try showing them dirty pictures, if they're anything like people that should speed things up
(at least you can tell the wife they're not yours, they're for the oscars

I have heard one unconfirmed report from someone that said their oscars breed at 6", but that is definately not the norm, and I even doubt the validity of the story honestly. 9-12" and generally between 1-3 years is the normal for oscars.

O yea, and of course, I was kidding ,
you can't make them mature any faster other than just making them grow bigger faster by feeding them well.
