Rams Lip Locking

[RobGoldsmith]

Morning guys

I have been trying to find where I read this on here but I am sure others have seen it.

I am still yet to work out if my rams are male or female! The smaller less colourful one sits behind a stone and chases everything and anything away from it. The large colourful one always has its fins out and swims with all the other fish freely.

Well today, the larger one swam over to the smaller ones stone. They engaged in liplocking and span in circles for 4/5 seconds i guess. The smaller one went back behind the stone an the larger one moved away again too.

Is this evidence that I have two males?

Thanks
Rob

No it is not. My pair, lock lips and are basically nasty with each other except during spawning time when all of a sudden they start swimming together. Love and war are different sides of the same coin or lets say cichlid.
