Aren't the males the only ones that get humps on the head or did I hear that wrong?

they both do but supposedly the males get bigger with a bigger hump and thats why i thought i had a male and female because they were raised together at the same size and now i think one just outgrew the other. i think the fins is a better way to sex them and i do believe i have 2 males or they would have bred already.
 
for sure you have mail an female...i just lost mine!!!! i have to start all over again.
 
You have pair there. If they were both males one would have been murdered by the other. As juvies anythings possible but once these fish mature things get serious.
 
what do you all feed your blue moori?
A lady at the pet store said the love blood worms, and will grow quick on them.
Not sure on the truth of that, so i haven't tried lol.
 
yes i do believe i have a pair now. they do the mating dance all the time but just will not spawn. im doing 2 water changes a week and unplugging there heater once in awile and then plugging it back in to induce a spawn but nothing yet. live food can help induce a spawn but im waiting for my jewels to spawn to feed the moorii the fry. any other ideas why they have not spawned yet? are dolphins touchy spawners?
 
That's awesome. I have one too, he is my pride and joy of my tank as I raised him from a fry. And he rules my tank, and killed (chased down to death) over 10 of my cichlids, including a fontosa, and a big strong venestus. But its hard to get mad, because those eyes are like a puppy dog. lol
