Thanks! Would love to see some pictures of yours if you have any!
I’m actually surprised I havent seen any pairing behavior from mine. The largest female and male I thought were about to pair but now ignore each other. Considering I have more males than females I’m not confident how the dynamic will play out.

Hard to get pics since they are little and very fast moving, but this is my largest male
Quick update. The dominant male is still being chased by a group of three females. He doesn’t seem bothered by it, but its not something I expected. Female is starting to dig small pits in the sand but doesn’t allow the male near it.
Had a pair form and lay eggs. To my inexperienced eye they both appear to be female though. The eggs have turned white so I’m thinking they are not fertile. Not going to make any changes in case they are in fact a male female pair and something went wrong with fertilization. Has anyone experienced a female-female pair?
I definitely have a male/female pair with mine. The male is super friendly with the one female, while he gives chase to all others except one other that I believe is also female. If I were to guess based off behavior of the confirmed male, my ratio is 3 males and 2 females. The female has been in breeding dress for a while but still no spawn. Ive tried large cold water water changes to see if that would trigger and still nothing. Im currently trying to adjust diet and add more than just pellets to see if that gets them ready.
I added spirulina pellets and flakes to my rotation. Not sure if it did anything to help trigger the egg laying. My largest male is the most timid, the females are the aggressive ones. All the eggs turned white and are now gone as of this evening. I may be sexing them wrong but it looks like two females to me. The large male has red on his dorsal,neither of this pair does to any noticeable extend. Tried to get some pictures.
