When you can see they can feed and look after themselves well
Oscars are very good parents and will often eat the odd egg if it is diseased or not fertile. They will however on occassion devour all their eggs if they are spooked or conditions in the tank are not to their liking. This is quite common but the pair will often breed again soon after and hatch a healthy brood.
I do
yes they can
mickey molly fry is like other molly fry just separate them from the parents and other adults.keep the tank needy so that your fry will be healthy feed them with dry worms , luke worms, and blood worms then your fry will be safe.all the best.
yes or separate them with a screen of plastic not zinc or aluminum at least or the male will eat the eggs
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".
It's generally not advisable to remove baby fry from the tank on their first day of life. Newborn fry are typically very fragile and rely on their environment for safety and warmth. It's best to leave them in the tank for a few days, allowing them to acclimate and gain strength before considering relocation. Additionally, ensure that the tank has plenty of hiding spots to protect them from adult fish.
If the fry are small enough to be eaten by the female guppy then she will eat them. If your community tank is well planted and you have plenty of hidey holes that the fry could hide in but the other adult fish can't enter, then the fry would have a better chance of survival out of the breeding/fry tank. You could also buy another livebearer breeding trap they are very cheap. _______________________________________________________________________ Ya that right they are but you have to remember that what she said is true!
Just wait until it has its fry. You should get more information on how to raise the platy fry such as what to feed them. If you have any other fish in the tank take then out or separate them so they will not eat the fry. Hope this helps, T
The Oscar fish naturally stay calm when they are in a pair.keeping more than two Oscars in the same fish tank can cause then to get aggressiveso keep two Oscars at the max in one tank.
There is no need. Breeding usually only takes place in a very large tank. Oscars are substrate spawners and will lay from 200 to 2000 eggs at a time. After three or four days, the eggs hatch. The fry is then transported to other location in order to protect them from potential predators. Oscars tend and guard their young and known to be good parents.
yes and wen they do it is best to put them in a seperate breeding tank and take her out as soon as she is finished as she will eat her own babies(fry)
