I am planning on trying some eel breeding, if you have any info or articles or anything on the subject please let me know. Thank you.

So earlier today I picked up a male red peacock for my female blue peacock. When I put him into the tank he was instantly attracted to a different blue peacock, but that blue peacock is male?! Within two minutes of them swimming together they started to do the mating ritual. So I've come to the...

Thank you everyone for the advise. One more question. If the ones I picked up are male and female, how do they breed or does anyone have any advise on Oscar breeding.

I only have two and I have other tanks in case I need to move

My oscars are about 2.5" and they are currently in a 29 gal tank. I'm assuming they aren't going to grow that quick so when I get my apartment in a couple months I'm probably moving them to a 90gal or 140gal tank.

I am going to be getting an orange spotted eel soon and I was wondering if my cichlids or oscars would eat it. The cichlids are, at max, 3" and the oscars are 2.5" and the eel is supposed to be 6". Thoughts?

Great looking cichlids! I wish you the best of luck with the fry :) hope I helped :)

How about a pic of the parents?

Can you post a pic? In quite interested now.

Just picked up two Tiger Oscars at my LFS. Really hoping I was able to get a male and female but we'll see. Anyways, does anyone have any advise for taking care of tiger oscars?

Also be aware that the gravid spot may not be gone after dropping. It is possible for a guppy to hold on to some of the fry and drop them at a later time.

My cichlids did this too, but I put them in with my 50+ guppy fry in a 10 gallon tank. Your tank size should be good, but just make it a bare bottom tank. Much easier to work with. my fiancee and I have a filter running at all times, but we still clean the bottom of the tank every day. Also, try...

I have read that live bearers can be pregnant for a long period of time and drop a couple of weeks apart. I currently have a guppy that dropped 3 fry last week but the gravid spot is still black so I'm assuming she'll drop again soon. Hope this helps a little.

Another question is what kind of food would they eat? Could they have crickets? Worms?

So I'm not sure about my Stuartgranti's color because they had a more plain color and now they are black with yellow tips. Why are they this color? I thought they were supposed to be blue. Also the mom chases the son and daughter all around, why is this?
