sorry i ment 8foot tank not 8metres..

i recently purchased a pair of baby oscars not sure if there female or
male,
i was wondering does anyone know how to tell if there female or male and
also i was reading that when they get big they turn aggresive, the two i
have in my tank are really getting along and following each other everywhere
in the tank, will; they turn against each other when they grow up..? i have
a fairly large tank 8 metres long so they will have heaps of room to move
when they get bigger, cause ive heard cichlids are very territorial..

I guess... A tank that size would lead to certain divorce for me!

Glass of water and a sit down, to get over the shock of that.

Next thing , you'll be telling everyone that your Oscars are Two foot long,
and still
growing and they live on a diet of cats and next doors kids..

But to anwer your question,,, They know, you'll have to wait, but if you can
get any more
of the same size, it would not hurt to get two more to increase the odds of
getting a pair.

I got lucky on my pair. Got them out of the same tank, at Petco, and they
are now breeding. About a year and a half old. 10 1/2 " long.
