Lip locking is part of the mating ritual. They also will kiss to chase someone out of their territory and to scrape algae off.

They test each others strength by doing this, I have a 3 inch kisser that bullies my 6 inch albino oscars. He rules the roost in my tank, I feel sorry for the others sometimes, but all he does is a kiss and a little chase to display dominance, he'll get a good fright one of these days when the much bigger oscar bites back.

They have only just heard that their is something called 'french Kissing' and still trying it out. What is better than a bit of tonsil Hockey, hey that is what they are doing, they are bored and playing tonsil hockey.

When they kiss each other, it is their way of determining who will be more dominant.

it is a dominance type thing. kind of like how two bettas will flare up if their bowls are put too close together.

only males will kiss, it is a form of fighting, like in cichlids.
