Which is the dominant one?

I've had Bob and Zues for over 5 years now.
They bonded easily and quickly...but I can't tell which is the dominant one.
They share everything, they groom each other....
how can you tell?

not sure if there's a surefire way to tell... with mine, it's very subtle - Gaz grooms Nala more frequently than she gets groomed; she learns behaviors from watching Nala do stuff, etc.

For me it is obvious which one of my girls is dominant. Shiny Things does NO grooming, she gets groomed constantly. She is very bossy with Beauty. She is also VERY talkative.

Talkative?
My boys definitely share the grooming ritual.
