Acaras spawning, help with id

[Rgtx]

Hello, looks like my EBA and regular acara are spawning, picture attached. Which one is the male/female and if successful how would the fry look like?

Looks like the electric blue had a female’s breeding tube but I can’t see the other one to compare. Males have narrow pointy tubes while those of females are wider and blunt.

I agree I think that the EBA is the female. I'm not certain but I imagine that EBA genes would be recessive, so the young would look like normal blue acaras but will be split for EBA.

Unless the normal one is heterozygous (one of its parents was EBA) in which case some young could be EBA.

I agree the EBA is a female, it’s difficult to see the other properly but I have the impression it might be a female also. So wait and see if the eggs hatch…

Eggs were gone next morning. They seem to be back to normal, though seems the EBA is following the acara and staying close to him.

Are they swimming around or staying in 1 spot? my EBAs moved their eggs and wrigglers like 5x (kept digging pits, check them all) and now they are almost free swimming, i think by end of day they'll be free swimming.

They are swimming around. Also are not protecting any territory assuming eggs are gone. Everyone back to normal no longer terrorize by the pair.
