Yup. If you watch them at you [acronym:be844678d5="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:be844678d5] for long enough, they'll lock lips. It's pretty neat to see. Usually a little territorial tif amongst they boys.

Exactly. It's like bucks locking antlers. It can be territorial or a show off to get the woman.

Nope. No ill effects at all. Their lips just touch. No biting.

Here is some info. They are not related to other gouramis. They do not have a labyrinth organ.
