it would be a crying shame if I just happen to have 5 males in the tank. *sigh*

No, I've never seen two males peck at a slate in a tank without a girl. And new pairs take a little while to get the hang of it. They'll bicker a little about the right spot and the right method- sometimes I can almost hear them thinking- No No No! That's all wrong. Don't do it like that! Do it like THIS! I think they're just nervous about their "first time" and all.

but after their third of fouth spawn things will start to run really smoothly.

aaawwwww! they're such cute little worrywarts... lucky for them, the leopard cactus pleco stays on the other side of the tank. I think he'd eat their eggs if they laid any.
