Hey MoJo nice Hoga's. I have 2 wild caught pairs myself. Can't seem to get one of the pairs to spawn. Any ideas? And the other pair has spawned 5 times now, all of them being unsuccessful. The male has even spawned with my female Devil and Xilo twice each and the eggs continue to not get fertilized. Is my male just an idiot, or is he shooting blanks? And do you know if he will eventually either get it, or become fertile? I cant seem to figure out how to upload a photo, I would love to show you him. He is as beautiful as yours. He is my avatar, but was hoping to upload another photo. My other male is a beast, he just doesn't want to spawn. :(

Where did you get the wild caught fish?

Nothing special to get them to breed. I just put them in water. Post pictures of the pair that isn't breeding.
 
The first 3 are of my Hoga that spawns with all my Amphilophus but never fertilizes the eggs. The next 2 are of my other Hoga, and his female never really comes out long enough to get her pic taken.

I got them from a local supplier. Every once in a while his supplier sends him a grab bag of some new wild caught merchandise. He doesn't know what he is really getting till it shows. There were 3 pairs in the group. I bought the first pair as soon as it came in, and purchased the other pair a month or so later.
