I have a few electric blue cichlids. 2 of them act the same as an adult pair breeding?! It looks like they will kiss each other and 1 will "shiver" and swim around and the other will chase it. They are all very small yet but what are they doing? No possible way they could be showing signs of breeding yet correct? Idk if I could even sex them yet that's how small they are...
 
How small?

It could be fighting/ showing dominance to each other. When they are small like under a inch there is really no harm, at least mine that small have never hurt each other. The could also be practicing their mating techniques. I wouldn't worry till it gets out of control
