Re: First breeding pair!
Congratulations on your first pair! It's very exciting to see the eggs sitting there and the parents doing their thing.
As far as the two fish IDs - the one that gives a really good profile view is definitely a snakeskin, similar to what some would call a "Solid Color Snakeskin" or I've seen them referred to as "Cobalt Snakeskin". The other one that's looking right at the camera facing forward is a little harder to ID without seeing the full pattern, but looks to me like either a Fineline Red Snakeskin or possibly a Leopard Snakeskin. Great match either way!

Re: First breeding pair!
Unfortunately, all the eggs were eaten overnight except three. Those three hatched, but were then eaten. I was totally prepared for this to happen and am still considering this as a success. I've got a breeding pair; step 1 complete!
I've kept the pair in their own tank and will put a plastic cage around the eggs if they lay again.

Re: First breeding pair!
Sometimes it just takes the parents a few tries to "get it right". There are a lot of members around who have a lot more experience breeding than I do so they might be able to give more accurate advice.
I would agree - you at least know you have a pair and they've gotten to at least the "wriggler" stage. I'd definitely consider that a success.
