Breeding Severum(pics)

[l3raD]

Hello,

Ok I have been tossing this up for the past week and dunno wat to do..
I have these two severums,
I got a friend that breeds severums to id them for me and he said both look to be of male.
Im not the expert BUT... I kinda disagree (even though im prob wrong)
But you be the judge,
Please if pobbible ID them and please explain wat is happening with the lip locking. As i have read
"Lip-locking and tail-slapping (typical cichlid pairing egg behaviors) precede their actual spawning"

But if both male do they do this still?
P.S sorry for bad pic quality

Both are males. My female severum does not have the squiggle marks on her face.

Please do not make multiple posts. You need to be patient and not everyone can answer a question instantly.

I guess ill just get rid of the green one..

hope you didnt see that sorry anyways

I thought it was when there were no squiggles between the eyes for a female? In the top pic the right sev is plain and the left is marked.

I will have to look into this more.

Thankyou Tango for your imput,
They look completely different too me i think have bet any money they were 2 different sex's i have a piece of slate in there now, but i am still worried about nuggets wellbeing
i have had him for 4-5 years now, he was one of mine and my gf fish when we 1st started going out now we have a child (axel luke) that is 5months old and he adores Nugget, would be sad too loose him...

if its bloated feed him some peas if not then maybe it has eggs ???

I wouldnt think he is bloated...
Funny thing today i went to a friend and said im borrowing your severums and in return if i get fry you can have a batch lol he agreed
Now i have 3 more with no sqiggles or marks on there faces or bodies 100% clean
But... now my green one wont let any near nugget so im very clueless.
Ohhhhhh the green sev and nugget are moving rocks and the slate i put in seems to been owned by them now but we will see how this resolves
Thanks All
