Hi guys, I have 2 helfrichi firefish and i'm wondering if i have a male female pair. Ones much bigger than the other. The smaller one seems to always follow the bigger one. And often goes to the bigger one and touches it's cheek with it's mouth(like a kiss on the cheek lol) and does a little wiggling dance to the other one's side(much like a clownfish).
Anobody here have a pair that could confirm that's what i'm seeing is a male firefish courting a female?
 
I was told once that you can only sex them by seeing their "parts"....size doesn't necessarily indicate male
Or female. Not sure if this is accurate, the guys at inland aquatics told me that

That is my impression as well.
 
LOL no i don't see their parts LOL I never tought that size indicated their gender. It's the way they act towards each other that does. I think i should make a video of the two doing their little dance since it seems nobody has ever seen this. The one that i think is the male is getting more and more intense when he does his dance. They are sooo cute to see :)

Well now i can see their parts LOL The male has been more franticly following the female the last few days and tonight i could see their parts LOL Especially the male. I would not be surprized if they would mate very soon.
