It's been a while, time to update.
This pair ended up breaking their bond. I was unsuccessful at repairing them. Kept them divided for 6 months or so with multiple attempts to take the divider down. Swapped them to different tanks hoping that would help with no luck. Added a 8" Oscar, 7-8" GT, Geo and 4" RD. still no luck. Male and female weren't having it. Decided to get my WC male back that I sold to a buddy of mine, swapped males, pair formed and laid eggs within 2 weeks. Didn't even know they spawned lol.
Here the vid. Fry started free swimming yesterday. Pulled all the other fish out.
