	Tiger Barbs Locking Lips
91Bird305 Enthusiast Posts: 271 Kudos: 56 Votes: 0 Registered: 01-Oct-2002	Anyone know if this is some sort of mating dance thing? Some of the tiger barbs get there top dorsal fins way up high and start running next to eachother in pairs and sometime lock lips and it looks like their fighting. Is this just what tiger barbs do sometimes and has nothing to do with mating?
