rennie_911 Hobbyist Posts: 60 Kudos: 17 Votes: 0 Registered: 17-May-2003	my oscars are at it. just a few questions. what is the best surface /thing to let them lay their eggs on. i have noticed they have become very terrotorial and are beating up the other fish should i remove them. and also one is albino and the other is a tiger oscar i suppose almost all t of the fry will be tiger as the albino is a recessive allele.

As for the fry, most will come out tiger but you should get a small percentage, probably 10-25%, albino. Good luck with them Jason
