cool i hope for u it male and female.

I dont know if they are male and female. I would like to assume this is mating ritual but who knows. I tried to get them sexed on the forum before but few people show interest.

yeah im not that experienced with them but from what i know males have the worming on the face and the females dont so thats why i was kind of confused by yours, that can be breeding behavior but it could also be fighting behavior as well i guess your gold one has very little marking on face so maybe female? but the females iv seen pics of have no facial markings sooo.... sorry to not give straight answer

 

[rhettdepauw]

yeah i have read that it is more about the worming in the space between their eyes, which would suggest the gold be female and redgold male. but that is based on some obscure we source so I dont know. Normally they get a long well and i have only seen them do this lip locking once previously.
