Oscar Fish Spawning Plate – 27cm Breeding Disc – CAVE by Arafa Nasser

Description

The CAVE Oscar Spawning Plate by Arafa Nasser is a 27 cm diameter handcrafted natural clay breeding disc, specifically designed to encourage Oscar cichlids and other large cichlid species to spawn naturally in captivity. Oscars are substrate spawners that deposit their eggs on flat, smooth surfaces, and this clay plate mimics the natural flat rocks and smooth substrate features they instinctively seek out.

• by Arafa Nasser — crafted to the exact dimensions preferred by Oscar cichlids for egg deposition
• 27 cm diameter — large enough for a full Oscar egg clutch
• Natural non-toxic natural clay — safe and inert in aquarium water
• Smooth upper surface is ideal for egg adhesion by substrate-spawning cichlids
• Heavy and stable — will not be moved by even large, territorial Oscars
• Also suitable for large convict cichlids, green terrors, and other flat-surface spawners

Oscar cichlids are among the most popular large freshwater fish in aquariums, prized for their personality and intelligence. Getting Oscars to breed in captivity requires the right conditions, and providing a dedicated spawning surface is one of the most effective ways to trigger spawning behaviour. Place the plate on a flat area of the aquarium floor and allow the Oscar pair to clean and prepare it themselves — a key part of their bonding and breeding ritual.
