Im trying to breed my bolivian rams in my 75gal

the down low:
Ive had 4 rams for about 2-3 months, I have 2 males for sure and 1 female for sure... the other one im leaning towards female but it shows signs of both sexes. I believe they are sexually mature and No pairs have formed and I dont know if im not being patient enough or what?

the setup:
medium substrate, well planted with fake and live plants, driftwood, clay pot and several smooth polished and slightly rounded stones.

Environment:
water set at 79 degrees, 20% water change weekly, neutral water parameters, fed lightly 3 times daily with varied diet of quality flake, bloodworm, and shrimp pellets.


why wont they make me some fry? please help

Set up: First spawn was in a 20Gallon long, then moved to a 55gallon, now they are in a 50gallon hex.

Any triggers/other information : seperate the breeder one male and 3 females from the others by a divider, they need no intiation they do it by themselves but to insure no inbreeding they must be seperated from siblings.
