Can you post a picture?
What are you feeding them?
Is the RD bloated?

That's your post from the other thread. Let's keep all this stuff together. Makes things less confusing.

Does she still have the thing hanging from her?

Here's a article on breeding oscars and raising the fry. Should pretty much apply to RD's as well.
EDIT: yeah, might help if I actually posted the link. Embarassed

Some cichlids do cross breed, but I've never heard of a RD/JD mix.

If they're turning white, then they're not fertile.
