Spawning pair, not sure on gender?
So I had 3 angel fish in the hopes I might get a pair. Well two of the fish paired off and laid eggs. They became so territorial towards the other angel that I had to rehome it with a friend. Anyhoo, they laid their eggs and were doing a good job protecting them, but by day 3 two thirds of the eggs were white. I know angels can have female/female pairings and I'm wondering how I might figure out if this is the case or if they just had a first spawning blunder and thats why all the eggs went infertile? I'm almost positive I have a hetero pair as the fish seem to follow the physical gender differences such as one having a big forehead and more rounded body shape, but I know those aren't for sure means of sexing.

If its a young pair most likely they're still working out the bugs on what to do and how to do it. You can easily go though 3-5 spawns before they get it right. I have a pair on their 7th spawn. They get the eggs set and keep them clean but now the second they become wigglers they eat them. Its just going to take some time.
