Two females??..Immature male?..I'd watch closely, and try to see if they both have blunt, wide organs, or a tapered, smaller one..Females are usually wide and blunt,kinda flat on the bottom for depositing eggs..Males are more pointy..HTH, Gary

I would check hardness of your water to make sure it is soft enough for fertization. If they don't get wigglers soon you could do a test. When they lay eggs you could pull the eggs and put them in pure RO water and treat with Methylene Blue to see if they hatch. Make sure to use an air stone to circulate the water.
