hello to all, today's day i have stayed seeing my oscars I realized two things, one is that the savage (wild one) has the fins more lengthened and pointed that the albino one that has them rounded and the other one is that when they are hungry the savage inflate to the albino one and the albino one swims laterally doing the head trembles... the savage makes energetic tremors with the tale and the head near the albino and the savage changes colors as chameleon... first green olive, then gray then black then coal and he/she repeats in these moments... good it is not always before or after eating, it is from time to time that they are swimming together and the savage opens him the mouth and they separate and later he/she returns, for it it is necessary to make the tremors otherwise the savage leaves to an alone corner to make tremors with the whole body all black or with black coloration in the base of the body and of there he/she returns as if anything where happening to the albino ... I don't understand this, I was reading in one it page at Internet that the oscars before reproducing makes tests of force to prove their couple´s strength, and these are tests lip locking, slaps with the tail, sudden yawns, etc. have any of you listened about these tests before?

pd: they have never fight before, they are in a 75gal, have never fight for territory, wild is 8" and albino is 7"
 
I think you may have a soon to be mating pair.
 
re:

thank you plp i other forums told me the same, they are swimming side by side like they use to do normally, is this going to repeat several times?, and how they clean the rock or wood where the eggs are going to be, cause the wild oscar was slapping and Razing the driftwood with the head like cleaning it so i was wondering if this could because of that, do you think the wild one can be female because he was shaking his/her body?
