Flippery Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Have posted this in another topic (cichlids) but will post here too :lol: My Oscars (of which one is obviously female ) have laid eggs overnight. They share the tank with a coule of plecos. Are the eggs safe? What is the gestation period? Any tips/tricks/hints? Should I be excited or is this a common enough event that usually ends in no babies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deno Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 they will hatch in about 3 days. If you want to keep the babies you will need to remove the eggs now, rock and all and hatch them in a small tank or container. If you leave the eggs with the parents they will surely be eaten soon after hatching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
