Oscar Eggs

[Zachk29]

This is about the fourth time my Oscar pair has laid eggs without success the eggs haven’t looked like this before the passed three times. I know the eggs should be tan/brown it’s hard to tell exactly what color these eggs are. It’s been about 24 hours not sure exactly how long it takes for the eggs to change color. Any information would be great!

Females will lay eggs without a male. Are you sure you have a pair? The eggs will be the tan color a couple of hours after the male fertilizes them.

I saw the albino laying eggs and I’ve sext the tiger Oscar myself and from what I see on the internet he is a male.

ya, look to be past fertilized or not at all..

sorry ?

That’s what I thought but wanted to get a couple other opinions because they usually seem to be a lot more white previously.

Nice pair, maybe good luck will happen next time. Keep an eye on your Tiger, looks like beginning of HITH there.

So, I've been looking at oscar videos since I seem to remember talk about the eggs are different fertilized, and the fry seem a shade of white and the eggs are the same shade white prior to hatching, maybe different for oscars?

Around egg time they get pretty aggressive with each other and tend to do a little damage.
