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.

How long does it take for Oscar eggs to hatch?

I have had Oscar fish for 3 years now and my Oscars started to mate and my female Oscar is most definitely going to lay eggs. As far as I know, it takes the eggs 24-36 hours to hatch. It won't take any longer, so if your Oscar is roaming around in circles, she will start to lay her eggs. She won't all at the same time, she'll just lay a few, then the male will go over them and fertilize them and so on. Then they should hatch in the amount of time above. Good Luck Breeding Your baby Oscar fish. Sincerely, Terrier23

You bought two goldfish now you have eggs all over the bottom of your tank you took out the goldfish and the eggs are getting hairy don't know if the other was a male to fertilize what should you do?

I'm not an expert at this, but I would put the parents back in until the eggs hatch. If the eggs don't hatch about 8 mon. after that, they are probable dead. Answer- The Goldfish eggs should hatch in two or three days depending on the temperature of the water in your tank. First it is important to realize that the eggs must be fertilized by a male Goldfish, after the eggs have been laid by a female Goldfish. Did you have a male Goldfish in the tank with the female? If not the eggs will not be fertile, and will soon turn white, and will not hatch. But if the eggs were fertilized, they should hatch in two or three days depending on the temperature of the water in tank. Note: You should not try to remove the eggs from your tank.
