i had to leave my house because i kept checking on the eggs lol.. I stuck a piece of blue poster board all away around the tank and turned off the lights maybe they wont be so stressed in case of shadows and such.
but i checked at 2pm today and they were still there.. I went to my gf house a hr away so i stop checking the tank.
The red Texas looks exactly like my green Texas cichlids. Except when my green Texas's mated they were black and gray. The other looks just like a Midas. Red eyes and all...

Not all male RT are sterile and I know yours has fertile siblings. Sometimes it takes a few tries but it is possible its sterile. Next time I would either separate the parents from the eggs or move the eggs to a new tank. If move them make sure they are in the same water as the parent tank so you don't shock them.
I have some more red texas how can you tell if they are fertile? I also have one that is faded it like a pink with some black dots can it be fertile. The only down size is the brothers and sisters are way smaller
