I have two Gold Saums approx 3". I Just got done doing close to a 75% WC and rearaging the tank. I have two Gold Saums the usally swim together and for the Last 10-15mins They have been Liplocking and something like necking? They are kind of open mouth bitting there each others neck.
I made a Short video and am going to put it on youtube asap(next hour).
But i am new to this what do all you guys think. Help me out lol.
thank,you
 
They are establishing dominance over territory try moving the rocks around in that general area where they were lip locking...my jag and gt do it all the time in the same spot so I just rearrange the spot sometimes the whole tank and it stops it for a couple days lol...
 
yea, i def. don't think that is mating...they usually swim in a circle when they are mating, id say they are just being territorial since u rearranged the rocks.
 
LOL oscars allways get in the way of the camera


looks like fighting when the one tillted up and the other bit its throat is a sign to me useually when its breeding they go face o face and flare alot and move back and forth twords each other but it can be hard to tell
 
Male male is all i've ever heard of or seen.
