I tried posting this in a different forum but I didnt get a lot of feedback, Im sharing this here in hopes maybe someone more experienced with firemouths can offer more insight as to whether or not i have a matching pair.
At the moment, it looks like one of them likes to camp out by a plant on the back corner of the tank. Seems relatively peaceful so far, aside from chasing off the rams every now and then.
Now the other fm seems to be the alpha of the tank. Hes claimed about 60% of it and will chase anyone that swims past him while on patrol. He will also chase the other firemouth at times, after that he retreats and carries on.
None of the fish are getting hurt or locking lips so far, just normal cichlid stuff.
Here are some pictures: the less dominant one is the darker colored one.
