I have some Altifrons, that I managed to get a clip of them acting strange, is this breeding behavior or are they just addressing dominance?
Here's the clip:

I think it's a dominance thing. I have 4 Altifrons. I've seen them lip lock and also flare they're gills out at each other. Mine have been doing this for about 2 months now. I haven't seen anything yet. So yeah I would think it's a dominance thing.

Maybe someone could shed more light on the subject than me

Yeah, well I did some research, only to find a video of this exact behavior to be breeding and dominance... so I dont know.
 
they need to be much larger to breed, they will be sexually mature anywhere around 6" and only once they get the long streamers on their fins. goodluck
