Question

and also do they even lay eggs or are they mouth brooders? and will they kill my two and a half inch tiger oscar? just need to know and the tank is 92 gallons if you needed to know that

Answer 1

They will lay the eggs, and guard them with their lives. If the Oscar avoids the eggs, he will be fine. If he goes by the eggs, he will at least get chased away. He will most likely get beat up a little and his fins chewed. I have been through this with a few types of Cichlids.
