I think its breeding but looking for your opinions. They have been going at it for 3 hours but dont seem to be hurting each other. They keep going to the filter intake and back glass and cleaning then start chasing each other. Sorry the videos are dark but i didnt want to turn the lights back on.

That's pretty typical breeding behavior! My angels lip lock, chase around then clean, for about a day, maybe two. Then they lay eggs on the filter intake tube, take care of them for a day then eat them. This happens every 2-3 weeks!
 
Thanks you all are right. Now lets see if they protect the eggs or eat them again. This will be the 2nd time.
 
They will probably take a few times of eating them. It takes awhile for them to get the hang of it. But once they do they produce some pretty beautiful fry :)
