Thanks for your notes of comfort...

Actually the Oscar was my 11 year old son's pet, and he had to leave for school, crying in grief... It was really sad.

We previously had 2 gals and a guy, and so DO have two more large oscar cichlids, and these two have been "jaw locking" for some time... (by the way, we have put a lid on the tank since yesterday's tradgedy.)

I would really like to see them lay eggs... Does anyone have advice or experience in what I have to do to make that possible? Babies would help carry on the "spirit" of the one who jumped the garden gate, and would help ease the loss.
