So I just went away for a 4 day weekend and I came home to all my fish cowering in seperate corners. As I start feeding my guys, I notice the FH and RT are being super friendly in the middle. Upon closer inspection, I found eggs. I don't even know which is male and which is female but it looks like the female is the FH and the RT is the male. I don't know whats going to happen with these guys or the spawn but can someone tell me what these guys actually are?

Sorry, pictures aren't the greatest and theres a bunch of food floating around. You can kind of see the eggs, they're behind the fish. There used to be gravel and a plant in that section but they moved everything out as cichlids tend to do.

Is your male really a unfaded RT? Would be pretty sweet if it was. Anyway, some of the fry will look like pearly ZZ's and some will have the Green Texas shape with some slabs of FH lol.
 
I'm pretty excited to see what happens but I'm super scared for my fish. There are a pair of Salvini that refuse to give up their territory which is right next to these guys. My fish actually got along really well until this happened. Unfortunately my basement still isn't finished so I have no where to move these guys around to.
 
What kind of FH is it?
 
I'd say maybe 5% of the eggs are white but the rest look good
