There are a couple of fish that look like they kiss, but cichlids are aggressive little beasts : D what is actually happening when you see to cichlids going at it is simple; they are fighting. Since fish do not have hands, they use their mouth to fight.. Generally speaking.. when the fish are going at it.. the fish with the bigger mouth is the "winner" while the fish with the smaller mouth ends up on the "losing" side.. Every once in a while, fish get froggy with each other and try to step up to the dominate one :D You can tell the dominate fish because they are usually the most colored, while the sub-dominant fish will be lightly colored and the rest will have almost no color, because the dominate male will see brighter colors as a threat.
