Pajama Cardinal brooding?

Hi.

I just noticed this on one of my pajama cardinals. I have two of them, not sure if they're male/female. However I see a small clear sphere in the mouth of one of them. This fish also has been nipped at on the fins. I've read a few things that say this is a sign of breeding (nipping). I'm very new to this kinda thing (fish breeding) and would appreciate some info. Thanks!

If the fish looks to have a fat mouth, or extended folds of skin under the mouth then it is probably holding eggs, they will also not feed.
