I just hope it's not two females. I have two others to toss these two with to try again but I don't have high hopes of a pair reforming like that.
I'm sure there has to be at least one male in the bunch. Let us know what happens.
 
I hope there is a male in the pair and he just wasn't ready lol. They took turns guarding the eggs and eating them lol. All gone...

Well, that wasn't cool. I was hoping that you would have a surprise of wrigglers. Too bad, better luck next time.
 
I knew there wouldn't be any. Not one egg was good...all of them were white as paper. That's why I'm fearing I have two females.
 
I know im bummed...they really look so good that I really want to be able to breed them. I will let them try a few more times...then if nothing ill put these two in the tank with the other 3 and see what happens. If nothing then I will have to sell them all off and start over with something else probably. I havent seen these on jeffs list in a long time.
 
Some updated pics...the spawning pair actualy spawned and had a bunch of eggs hatch to wigglers....then they went MIA over night so maybe they ate them. Maybe they are slowly getting there. Also I think I have 2 others that have paired up.

Current spawning pair

I think these have paired up but I just removed the 3rd less dominant one out so we will see.

The least dominant one of all 5 from day one...notice it has less orange on it. Now that its pulled from the others I will see if the orange comes in. This one is going to go in my show tank at home.

those guys (and girls) look great! what impresses me the most about them is their shape. Compared to store oscars these dont have that weird block head. They look incredible! Good luck with breeding
