Hi. I recently acquired 2 bolivian rams - 1 male, 1 female. they are going to go into my 90 gallon tank, but right now they are in the qt tank. my question is about their behavior. at first the female seemed great and the male was the one I was worried about - not eating, not moving around much. Now they are both eating wonderfully! But... Now the female seems to be hanging around the bottom of the tank alot and not moving much. when feeding time comes around (and this could happen at other times as well, but I am sure it is occuring at dinner) I notice the male is "pushing" or "kissing" the female. is this mating behavior or bullying behavior? She doesn't swim away when he does this - just kinda puts up with it. it doesn't seem rough which is why I said maybe "kissing". she kinda goes head down, he does his thing, then she continues to get food. Are these guys a pair or is he picking on her?
any help is welcome!!
