I have attached photos of two of my African cichlids that I hope are displaying breeding behaviour. I did a water change yesterday with partial cold water and now they are ‘kissing’ for minutes at a time, circling around each other and what looks like, one of them ‘smelling’ the females behind. I understand these are very layman’s terms it’s just what they look like to me. Also I believe one of these is a red top hongi (but I could be wrong) and I have no idea of the other one. Could anyone please identify aswell please?

Thanks
