adamski84 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Hey guys I have 2 oscars 3 plecos and 6 flowerhorns in a 6x2x2 that have been locking jaws for a while now also slapping each others sides and chasing each other around the tank They also chase the other fish in the tank just wondering what this means none of the fish have any bites on them Though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matmatmat Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Is it just the oscars doing it? Are they just chasing the other fish away from a certain spot? Could be a pair courting and defending their spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamski84 Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Yea just the oscars doing this should I remove the other fish so they can breed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matmatmat Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Only if you want lots of oscars:) I'm not an Oscar expert (lol or an expert on anything really;) ) but I have had many other fish successfully breed in community tanks.. Convicts are awesome at it! They may be happy to be left to go about their business as is? Sounds like it could be a pair though! Up to you whether take or leave the others:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott95 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 No way to tell by appearance is what I've heard. The one that lays eggs, is usually female Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
