Oscar pairs - How long?

[Peter Laws]

Hi all
Was thinking about buying about 6 to 8 small Oscars and hoping to find a
pair.
Does anybody know how long this would take before a pair is formed?
Thanks
Peter

I tested the link and it did not take me to the actual page. Go to

Click on south American cichlids. They are listed as long finned red
breeding Oscars. the ad says they are 5 inches long.

If the Oscars are in the 2 inch range, and given proper food and
maintenance, you should be looking at a pair in a year.
But since so many Oscars are sold when the are small and cute, you might
want to check out the LFS for trade in pairs. I often see full size
breeding pairs selling for $5-10. at aquarium club auctions.
