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.
 
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.
