CraigMcN Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Well, my ocscars Pinky and The Brain finally decided to settle down and start a family... a very large family if they have any luck with this bunch of eggs! It's their first spawn, so who knows how they'll get on... Some pics... Craig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishy_t Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Awesome looking oscars you've got there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 When did they spawn Craig?? Those eggs look white to me which is an indication that they aren't viable. But then again, what you see in a pic isn't necessarily what you see in real life. Good work tho. Start preparing a babies bath for the youngsters.

sharn Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 what lovely babies you have there! 8) i agree with alan, normally fertile eggs are pinky but it is only their first go and they are doing well to do a spawn that size if the eggs continue to be infertile you may have to girls on your hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigMcN Posted November 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Well, I'm never going to find out, coz all the eggs are gone this morning... ... I don't think they've got the hang of this whole parenthood thing yet, as I watched a convict brazenly wander in and snack on half a dozen eggs before the parents realised they had to do something about the striped little bugger Given the topportunistic tankmates (cons, silver dollars, syno, RTS) I think they'll have a hard task guarding eggs at the best of times. Hopefully they'll try again. I've no idea what I'd do with 100 little oscars, but it'd be a very cool sight to see. C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Next time, watch carefully when they are laying and look at their depositors and see if they are the same or different. I want you to describe what you see. So no one else add on here what the diff is please. To see is to learn. The probable reason that the eggs were eaten was that as I said, the eggs were white, therefore not fertilized, so they had a good protein addition to their diet and getting ready for next time.

sharn Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 no doubt they will continue to try until they get the hang of it (which may be never if theyre girls/infertile but that wont stop em trying LOL) :lol: if you did get fry you would want quite a few grow out tanks and a massive stock of food- you know how much these guys eat :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
