How to breed oscars?

If you prefer the fry to be brought up by the parents, then remove the parents from the tank and isolate them so that they can bring up their children in peace.

Yes, flower pot (if you have those without holes at the base even better) is good cover for wriggles, easy for the parent fishes to look after.

Will setup cozy corners for them to breed, as both are always trying to find a place and keeps "digging" on the bottom tank bare corners. Thks bros for ur kind input.

Me too saw the eggs but no fries. Comfirm one female and one male cos show one of them tube come out to lay egg only. No luck. Try again.

My tank too many fishes. The pair laid eggs all over the tank base...was a failure. The female breeding tube was out for nearly a week until the female could not hold it longer and started to release eggs haphazardly.
