i bought this tank off crags list about a year ago, and my two yellow sevis are breading, but all the other tank mates love the taste of eggs, so i was playing with the idea of moving the pair into a 55g by themselves and sell my texas, so if i do this and try andd sell the fry on crags list i want to know exactly what species i have

Look like Gold Severums to me
 
The left one is a green severum if I am not mistaken, pretty as well
 
I think they are all females.

the gold sev on the top is the male he is football shaped rather than round, you cant see it cause the angle of the camera and has already pared up with the other goldy. the pair has lays about 2 baches a month but they are no match for the tank mates. the tiger barbs are way to quick. and bala sharks have vacums for mouths and the pleco does waht he wants. im hoping to give away my texas and use his 55g home to use as a breeder tank. im really hoping to try out the rotkeil and the god male to see if they would pair up?
the top pick are about the same shape and size, could they still lay eggs and just go through the motions? if they are all femails? she faned the eggs while the big one chased of all the fish to no avail, the one fanning thed eggs wouldnt even eat!
 
i got the right angle finally after 20 pics

Yes that's a pair, male on the bottom. If you can get a side shot of the green/rott we can have a go at sexing it also.
