I have a quick question about my Angels. I have two of them, and the last few days I have been seeing some behavior that I haven't seen before. One of them (the black one) has been shaking it's fins almost in a display, while the other is 3-4" away watching. Then they lock lips for a few seconds, this happens one or two times and they go their own way.
I'm pretty sure it's love, but just wanted opinions, as I haven't seen courtship between fish before. I had a look on youtube at some courting Angels, and the behavior was similar though not for as long as the ones in the video. I thought that my black Angel was still a little immature (I got it at Christmas when it was about the size of a 50c piece).
The thing that has me curious, is that they (more so the marble) are still quite aggressive to each other when it comes to territory.
What fish would be showing off (ie: the fin shaking display), I'm guessing the male?.
Wouldn't it be a fluke if I ended up with a pair!.
