Trojan_man Enthusiast Posts: 204 Kudos: 191 Votes: 0 Registered: 10-Aug-2004	My two oscar is actively mating(Both are about 10'')The female oscars lays tons and tons of eggs.She just dump all of them on the gravel and guard them fiercely.Even the male stay out of the way! After a few days the eggs were still the same white color, some even have fungus growth on them. In my opinion the male is not even fertilizing them Right now my eggs are stuck in my gravel and rot.HELP, this is the second time it happen
