Lyretail Anthias Carrying Eggs?

I added 3 young lyretails to an existing one 5 months ago. The existing one has since gone thru color changes now it's almost complete. The male displays to the females all the time especially when the light is ramping down. I notice the 3 young ones are kind of plumb in the belly. Definitely bigger than what I have seen in the store or other people's tanks. Is it possible they're all carrying eggs?
 
My Lyretail Anthias lays eggs quite often. Before light out, they will swim around and the male would chase the female and then bumps into her. After that, its an all you can eat buffet for all the little fishes.

This is what happening now. Simply amazing. I noticed last night that the pair of chromis were going nuts eating sometime from the water column. I ramp the light level down and they would start breeding when it's dim.
