I have a 125 gallon tank with 8 blue dolphins in it,trying to get a pair or two.

6 of them are 4+ inches. The largest being around 6 inches.

They've been in the tank together for about 2-3 weeks now. And today I noticed two fighting intense. Water even splashed a couple times. One out of the two turned dark blue. And this one seemed to be chasing every other dolphin in the tank to an extent.

Is this breeding behavior?? Or is it just an angry dolphin?? I don't really know how to tell the sex of them. I heard that males anal fins are more pointed and females are rounded.

Any suggestions as to sexing them? Or how to tell if they have paired up at all? Or if they are just battling to the death??

One has become spotted again. Which i believe they look like when they are stressed?

I don't know what you did, but the font on that is white. For what it's worth, it can be read if one highlights all of the text.
