Hello, I'm trying to find out if I have a breeding pair, but I'm not sure.
I have created a movie clip where I films fish behavior.
I notice that they were fighting in a gentle way that I've never seen before.
It looks like they are pushing each other, and sometimes they fight like disckus most, but still more careful. Is this breeding behavior, or it may indicate that there are a couple?
What do you think?

Could be. Suspect female seems reluctant.

I agree with Pat. I'm willing to bet thats the male dancing, female just isn't paying much attention. So no you technically don't have a pair yet, but could eventually.

Beautiful fish though, love the dark blue on the fins.

yep, obvious that one is dancing and the other one is sending "mixed signals"... damn women...

if the other starts bowing as well and cleaning spot then that's always a good sign! otherwise, maybe it's two "bulls" or two "cows" :confused:
