severum eggs

[Deadeye]

That green looks female to me. Can you try to get a closeup if its face?
This is my male for reference:

Even when he is black (usually a sign of stress) his mouth is covered in blue worming.

So I could potentially have two females I do see some worming on the green sevs face it’s not a lot but I do see some. He is also very aggressive when I get close to the eggs if the green was a female would it still be protecting the eggs also would it be cleaning the service before the eggs lay? This was the only photo I could really get right now because they are trying to attack the camera.

If it’s the same fish in your thread from 2018, it’s a female. It looks like one here but the dark spawning colors make it hard to tell. And yes, female-female pairs spawn and protect eggs all the time, they just won’t hatch for obvious reasons.
