1st time parents sometime screw up, but if they lay eggs once they will more than likely do it again..And get it right.

is tht pink one flowerhorn too? i think its male right?
looks male to me. also you may not want to expect fry because some male flowerhorn are infertile.
 
Male is a JK, and female is a zz.

Male looks a little too small to breed, and especially if it's their first time I am not sure if they both got it right. Also male looks a little beat up, I am assuming the female did that to protect her eggs. Which to me.... means, the female didn't accept him as his mate and didn't let jizz on her eggs lol.

Don't be let down bro, they always screw up their first time and will get it right as they stack some experience.

Keep us updated either way! good luck.
