are my SAE mating

[smaug]

I have no pics of it.They are hanging in the tank currant bumping each other with there sides and there is an occasional head bump to the flanks.They do this at night and it does not seem like fighting.they are 2" long and were purchased together my water params are ph7.0,gh11,kh5,80deg.has anyone witnessed this before?

[smaug]

any ideas at all?anyone?

[sergo]

well i can't help out much but i have had a pair in my 55 for about 9 months now that i bought together. i have no idea how to sex them but they are always together and seem to frolic at times. they are a schooling fish so they may just be doing what comes naturally. if you get more you may see even more interesting behavior.

I guess they could be just playing.They are the 2 most entertaining fish I have.

Unfortunately O' Smaug I have not heard of anyone breeding SAEs around here so I dont have any info to share with you. Most likely they are playing but one never knows.

thanks to everybody,now that I watch them a little closer I agree,they are just playing.they just started this about a week ago.during the day they act as if they dont like each other.with the lights out they are totally differant.
