Hey everyone so last night I removed the divider in my 40g tank with my 2 EBJD's in it. I originally set up this divider because the bigger of my two EBJD's liked to pick on the smaller one, there was no lip locking at this point only subtle fin nips and a lap around the tank every few hours. But now that the smaller of the two is the same size as it's counterpart they had a standoff last night which ended up in a lockjaw that lasted for about 5 minutes, they kept puffing up and circling each other and continuing the battle, after the scrap was over the original little one had a little fleshy lip, I'm just wondering if this is typical spawning behavior between a male and female and that I should leave them together but just in a larger tank or if it's a territorial dispute of males, iv never raised 2 at the same time so this behavior is new to me, any help would be appreciated.
