What does it mean with Cichlids lip lock and swim in small circles very fast?

Question: seems like they're fighting

Answer: Hi King, We've spoken about this in private in email in the past. It's one of two possibilities, but in your case, what you didn't bring up, is that it's between a Red Zebra, and your Electric Yellow, and that is not a sign of them cross mating, it's clearly a fight over territory. Those Zebra's are quite the nasty little Mbuna, and I just now have the same problem going on in my tank as well. You've moved the zebra out which I feel is the right thing to do. The temperment of the zebra is not a good mix with your yellows and I can confirm that is the case becasue the same thing is going on in my tank now.
