catfishLegacy Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 With no pun intended, I would say "females lay eggs". As far as I was ever able to tell the only way to sex oscars is to have a genuine, fertile mated pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannula Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 No, both males and females look the same. Some people say that overlapping caudal, anal, and dorsal fins is a sign of a male but really it could be either. Vent sexing is the most accurate besides watching bredding activity itself.

fiona Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I have seen actual photos of oscar vents on the web in an article about sexing them. I'd say that if the article is still on a server somewhere, an assiduous Google search would probably uncover it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
