Now that these two are over the 5-6 inch mark they spend a lot of time circling each other, two males? Sorry for the crappy pics, just finished another large water change.

I see three fish not two but yes, what Blair says, Taiwan Reef, identifies the fish on the far left....but only that fish.

Thanks, yes sorry wrong pic attached. Left upper and lower right are the two in question.  The circling of these two seems to be less than an aggressive posture but not quite the dance of the male female courting.  Thanks again

All three fish in the pic are 100% all males so they are definitely sparring.

Upper left, Protomelas sp. "Taiwan Reef".

Lower right, Copadichromis borleyi .... looks like "Red", but there is also a "Gold" and your coloration saturation is a little funky, not to mention the full body isn't in the photo.
