Oscars aren't livebearers.
And please, try to write in English, not text-speak. I'm sure I'm not the only one who hates having to translate from text-speak into real English. Cheers, Neale |

Defo not livebearers, and sexing them is almost impossible unless you see the female laying the eggs.
breeding size i 6-8 inches up and the should breed form 18 months on wards if their a good size. You usually need a group of 4 fish to get one pair and then once u get the pair remove the other's. Or your get problems. Try asking in the cichlid section. |
