Well I decided to try spawning Whip, my mg male with my white girl Princess, because Whip has been beaten up so bad in previous spawns and Princess is my best and most gentle spawning female. I figured it may take Whip one or two spawns till he gets his spawning and parenting act together and I would rather him learn with a female that I am pretty sure wont kill him, even if she does not match color wise. I set up the tank a few days ago, got whip all settled and last night I put Princess in the chimney, this morning I released her and within 2 hours they were spawning, still at it in fact.
I stole a few eggs because I have so many lost spawns, seperated the stolen eggs into 3 seperate tupperwares and they are floating in the far side of the tank, I am letting Whip parent all the rest of they eggs that they have, which so far looks like a lot. He had built a little nest under the foam cups, but during spawning he has been making another nest under the ial.
woohoo eggys!

Princess's last spawn was mostly all the color of the father, forest green with one or two a very pale color green.
