This species I picked up from a rather unique collection point, are completely different than the Texas cichlids I've owned before. the female is in her breeding colors, but what do you guys think. Fighting or trying to breed? they're divided but I remove it here and there to see how they do.

sorry for the lighting, I have the lights off in the video.

looks like 2 males fighting to me....my female don't have long flashy trailer fins like that
all 10 of them look like this, it's due to the collection point. I've also noticed a increased aggression with this location compared to regular texas's. The smaller one in that video from the bottom jaw to the first stripe is black ( she's in breeding colors )
