I observed a new behavior tonight with my chromises. I have four, and two of them were "kissing." They'd touch lips three or four times rather quickly, and then one of them would "display" to the other one, half on his side, do a little shutter, and then the other one would do a little shutter more nose up, and then they'd kiss again. This went on for about five rounds, and then those two joined the other two, and then it was schooling as usual. All my chromis are about the same size, with maybe one of them being just a hair bigger than the other three. This kissing behavior was between the "larger" of the four and one of the other three. I wondered if it was a dominance thing or they just really like one another It sort of mirrored some of the behavior I've seen in my clowns. I have observed obvious dominance behavior with one of them basically chasing the others, but anybody got a theory about this?
