    Not yet John, these two are still young. It took awhile for them to lay after I moved them into their own tank.
    He's a bit inpatient, keeps bugging her when she attempts to lay. She's the bigger of the two and a couple of months older. Even now while they both fan the eggs he keeps trying to push her away. It's been a little over 48 hrs since this lay. Just giving them some time and see how it goes. Both a nice size for RE's.

    Ya Pat, you thinking two females because all the eggs. I originally have 5 female RE's and had Kenny hand pick me a male after a couple of months, so I think I'm OK.

    You could right Pat, it' just that these two had laid in a community tank and I was sure they lasted 3 days and then were eaten. Not sure if three days is enough time to prove fertilization. I thought it was? Anyhow about to give up on these two, they just don't act like a pair. No shaking or passes! The one I assumed was a male just bugs the heck out of the one that I know is a female till finally she lays. Haven't been able to actually watch the lay yet.
    I'll give them a couple more chance and try to observe till I quit on them! Seems like even if they are male and female they wouldn't make a good pair.
