Signs of breeding??

[cloienc27]

I have recently (4-5wks ago) introduced a juve maroon with my 5 yr old maroon and they have now started sharing the same sebae. They start swimming in circles together and it looks like they are nibbling on each other. (Nothing mean though) Could I possibly be seeing future signs of them breeding or what? Any info is welcome!!

When the time is near you will see them cleaning a spot on the rocks near thier host, they will appear to be biting at the rock. A day or two later you will see this.

Mine were purchased as juvinelles, they were together for a year and a half before they spawned for the first time.
From your description is sounds as if they are bonding. Congratulations, maroons are sometimes extremely difficult to pair.
