Help fast. Are my FHs fighting or breeding.

The problem is the male is a tad bigger than the female and the female is the more aggressive one

You want the male to be larger than the female.

The male is only an inch or more bigger than her.

Any idea on why the might not be eating. They won't eat grand sumo but the ate the frozen bloodworms I fed them.

Should I let them together everyday so they get used to seeing eachother, or leave they apart but able to see eachother and breed through the divider or lastly let the together when the females tube is showing or when she lays eggs.

if there's hard biting that you can hear, or they go head to head, you better separate them.

Best show a video of what youre talking about.. If one fish is at the top tilted in any position, then it is getting hurt, and stressed.

If they do the flare, a circle, then one fish follows the other and start moving gravels and biting the walls then that is courtship.

They do most of this but I can't hear the bites. They don't look too hard a no real damage is done. I'll definitely separate them when I go on vacation. For head to head, every now and the they go for a lip lock that last less than a second. Also the female might chase or follow him and go for a light bite/kiss/nudge on the face around the gill and he either turns into her, bump heads a stop or he turns, she moves to his underside below gill and he does a 360 flip with a turn and she stops.

I'm taking the risk of keeping them together tonight. The tank is in my room so hopefully and thing too violent and harmful to the fish will wake me up.
