Those are two really nice pairs, both males are fantastically pretty when colored well. I have a pair of innideres and a pair of scheelis. Also chocolate australe and golden wonders.
Last first:
The eggs should be removed, whether the male and female of either pair can remain together spawning depends on their dispositions. This is if you're seriously trying to breed, both my pairs have spawned and had fry which are juvies now. I did remove them from the parents' tanks to keep them alive. Neither pair has done any m/f fighting.
They're from the same genus and should be able to interbreed. It's rather unlikely that you'll be able to keep more than one pair long term in a 34 gal. I could not keep my two pairs in a 55 gal, the larger innidere almost killed the scheeli, the innidere female paid the same courtesy to Mrs. Scheeli.
Try it and see what happens, but be ready to pull any of them at any time, lots of attacks happen at night, if things are going bad late in the day, don't risk it, take the underdogs out. They may do OK for a day or so, then go at it. If one of them is hovering near another and makes a move the other can't counter, that's a bad sign. Oh, if you want to try them together, be sure you know what the females look like beforehand!
Good luck, once you figure out how to keep these guys, you'll love them, they're so colorful!
