What Are My Gouramis Doing...

[Keithoms]

Ok, they always have fought, thats nothing new.

But now, they have just gone slowlu up side by side, one facing one way one the other.

One wiggled its body and its tail then the other did the same. They started attacking each other again..
What is this?

did there little barbel type elongated wisker things tickle each other? i think if i remeber rightly its either the male showing of or them showing each other who is boss, i cant quite remeber

 

[malakye]

Are you sure they are two males and not a breeding pair? Where they doing this under a pile of collected plants on the surface?

 

[markandhisfish]

sounds like breeding behaviour to me

 

[Keithoms]

No, just in the front corner of the tank. I think they are both male

 

[markandhisfish]

if they are both male they are either establishing a pecking order or they are gay pics would help then we would be able to determine sex

 

[Truck]

i have lots of gay livebearers, i have no problems with gays whatsoever,

 

[Keithoms]
