fighting or spawning behaviour ? *movie included*

[africanmarty]

Hey guys hows things, havent been here for a while all work and no play these days ;)
Anyway to the point my jaguar cichlid pair wich i seperated with a divider for about
a month i have taken the divider away this morning to see if things would be cool,
there was some following around, lip locking, body shaking, (wich i filmed) i have
put them back the way they were (i put the divied back to sperate them) becuase i
wanted you guys to watch the video and see if i should leave the divider out (and
the behaviour was spawning/breeding behaviour) or move the male to a tank of his own
(it was fighting behaviour). awaiting your reply.

Hello,

I tryed to see the movie, but my computer wouldn't let me. But from what you said it is probably not fighting. Maybe you will have some babies soon!

what I saw didn't look like fighting..looked more like sizing up the fish.

more similar to spawning behavior I have seen.

so you think its safe to take the divider out and leave them... ?

Doesn't look like fighting to me. Take out the divider and see what happens next, maybe you'll end up with some babies
