Oscars kissing?

[99SH]

I've had 2 baby oscars in my 90 gallon tank for about a month and I've recently seen some weird behavior from them. It looks like they start to kiss now. It seems like they touch each other on the lips a few times and then quickly chase each other around. Has anyone seen this before? I can't tell if they're male or female. Thanks.

They are sparing, probably nothing serious they are just establishing who is the boss of the tank.

However keep an eye on them incase any real damage is done.

That also can be breeding behavior. Depends on what other behaviors the fish showed beside chasing each other and locking jaws.

Many cichlids...actually most...have mating dance.
