I just picked up two texas cichlids and I've noticed some mating behavior. Its been literally about 2 hours since I braught them from the store. Can someone tell me if their about to breed or I just got my hopes up. Thanks

I wouldn't say they are "mating" just yet . . . looks more like they are pairing up, yes, but for now they are just exploring their new home, checking out the place, making sure that flower pot would be a suitable home, etc.

when they start mating, you'll see them digging up the sand around the flower pot, and you will also notice some dramatic color changes . . . when they are mating, the back half of each fish turns almost black . . .
