Spotted Dragonets mating ?

[Raul3]

I have this couple of dragonets, they have been well fed (pods). And I just spotted them doing this weird dance, I was told they were both female but now I starting to think they are pair.

 

Here is the video, are they mating ?

I see a definite male, the spotted ones dont have as pronounced a spike as the blues.

 

the male, he is the one initiating, can see his spike here.

Thanks , then the other should be a female, my understanding dragonets two males will be a NoNo. And since they are so friendly then a pair?

Good capture @Raul3! It definitely looks like a mating routine to me.

Yes...a pair. Two females would fight as well.
