today i noticed that my cinctas were chasing each other, then they started mouth fighting. is this a sign of breeding or are they just fighting for territory? i redecorated my tank before this happened so im not sure whats goin on? any info would be sweet. thanks in advance. they are both 6" or so and they have been together forever. ( at least thats what the lfs said ). i have had them for about 3 to 4 weeks. thanks again!!!!

More than likely just jousting. Cinctas have never been bred in captiviity, as for as I know. In fact the only Lugubris that have been bred are Marmorata (Tapajos) and Xingu 1.
