Maybe... I don't know for sure, I thought liplocking was a sign of aggression?

its hard to tell exactly by the pics as their fins are hard to see..but by the 4th pic on the bottom right, id make a guess that the JD in the top of the pic is female and the one on the bottom is male...by their gill plats..fems have more color specks on the gill plate than males...

So what should i do now, get rid of red devil or any suggestions....... everytime i come home they're fighting .... i love all pets and to see this it's not fun or fair to the fish .... i have a 30g tank on standby

theres room for them all but if your jd's spawn, they will make it miserable for any fish that goes near their side...so guess it depends on your own preference and how severe the fighting gets
