I have had plenty Oscars but never a breeding pair and yesterday my huge breeding pair of Oscars I got from a breeder who went out of business have finally laid a bunch of tan looking dot eggs on a big flat rock I have in the tank, about 100 at least. So I need basic answers to some basic questions from those that have successfully hatched Oscars.
How long do I leave them in with the watchful parents guarding?
Will the eggs stick to the rock or do I scoop them up?
Should I move the parents from their 100 tank to the new 160 cycled tank I have ready or the eggs to the 160 or another 80 I can move them to after relocating the Goldies in that tank (2 large)?
Do the eggs need to be alone, no other fish period?
Any other recommendations? as soon as I have a moment Ill take a photo.
