Why are my parrot fish mouth fighting? Is it aggression or breeding?

Question

why is my yellow parrot fish fight by mouth and rounding each together ?

Angel Alvarado, LVT · Accepted Answer

This "lip wrestling" can indicate aggression if you have two males or if you have a male and female, it may be breeding behavior. You'll need to watch them to differentiate between the behaviors. Males may need to be separated or placed in a larger tank. A female parrotfish will lay eggs on a hard surface in the tank and the pair will take turns caring for the eggs.
