I can take the other female and see if she'll pair with one of my other males. I'm interested to see how 2 pair will fare in a 75g.
I looks like the male that won out last time is now no longer the dominant.

I've got a bunch of plants kind of dividing the tank in half with one side a bit more covered with floating plants than the other where the out flow to the filter is, pushing the plants to the darker side. Each side has a large smooth rock for them which you can see in the video and pictures i posted.
Right now the female doesn't seem interested in either male.

I've got a rock full of eggs, too. I also found a ton of my assassin snails going for the eggs. I helped Mom out by scooping a bunch of the off. I"m wondering if that's the reason why they've had so little luck. My parents in the past have almost always gotten them to fry stage
