Do mature Severums act the same as angelfish when in breeding mode? Will two females pair off and lay eggs like angelfish do sometimes?
I am just curious since we have some breeding action going on with the green severums, who "appear to be" one male and one female. They act exactly like my angelfish do when they are in the mood, but not as mean. One is bigger and has more green on "him and th oerh is more dull. They get feisty with each other and do this twisch with their butts. It looks hilarious.
Here's some pixs of the suspected pair, Mr. and Mrs Greeen
The close up is the possible male

HI there,
I have a breeding pair of green severums.
One way to tell if there keen on each other is if they lock lips and push each other, or the male will swim up beside the female and hit her with his tail fin.
I have seen this behaviour every time before they lay eggs.
They are usualy quite ruff with each other during spawning.

I have seen some lip grabbing and the tail thing....they've torn up A LOT of plants They get pretty cranky with each other, and the 2 gold severums.
I am quite sure they are in breeding mode, but I thought the males had more color on their faces than ours does. I guess there are green severums and turquoise ones so maybe that's the difference.
