He's still trying, she's thinking about it.
If you watch the right side of the vid you can see the other longear who's staked out the other side of the tank trying to horn in.

these videos started out as recordings of a louisiana longear mating, turned out to be a fishy three way. how rude is that central basin longear?

The one "sneaking in" looks like a Western Dollar sunfish to me.
 
oops, sorry warmouth, I missed your post.
shouldn't be any western dollars, they weren't even up on zimmerman's when I ordered these guys.
if you looks at his pics, the western dollar has spots on his ear, the centrals don't. if you stop the video at 16 seconds you can see his ear flap is all black.
