Oscars are cichlids! They are from the South American group of cichlids. Fish can mate only within the same species. Oscars can only mate with other Oscars.
Yes, but i am not sure what patches of color will the baby will have.
no. not for now, at least
No one can make Oscars mate. Oscars need to be mature and in breeding condition and must also be in a very large tank. They also need to choose their own mate. Sometimes two females will spawn together so their owner thinks they are a pair and then wonders why the eggs never develop into fry. There is no known way to sex Oscars other than by an expert 'venting' them no matter what other people say. Oscars are one of the fish that come under the category of having "No sexual dimorphism".
A pair of Oscars can mate for life (up to 20 years) if they are not separated somehow. They do tend to slow down as they age though and in my experience loose their fecundity somewhat once they are over 15 years old.

not sure mate!!
They will mate when they are ready and can produce a new spawning every 6 to 8 weeks once they start. Provided all their living conditions are perfect for them.
yes they do
Oscars are the breed of fish that mate the most. However, guppies and trigger fish also mate much more than other breeds of fish.
to be a petrean and to learn more
While it is an instinct to mate, bunnies are not required to mate to live. For example, a single bunny that is someone's pet will most likely never mate but it is not negatively affected by this.
