Has anyone been able to successfully breed oscars? How do you sex them? What kind of tank space do you need for a pair? I need some info!

My LFS has a breeding pair on sale for 75 bucks! That's the reason I asked this question. I would love to have those guys because there is a big demand for them around here.

I have been keeping fish for 20+ years and have only seen 1 breeding pair. They were in a pet store in Arlington in about a 100 gallon tank. They had zillions of fry regularly, too many to raise them all.

I use to breed them in over the ground pond made out of cynder blocks long time ago. I put a lot of slate tile and river rocks that I steal onec they laid eggs on it. I then aerate the eggs in a separate tank and hatch them.
