The plecos were feisty after today's feeding. I watched these two go at it for like 20 minutes before I decided to film. The typhoon pleco was challenging the larger, more established titanic. Fun to watch, but I hope they establish their hierarchy before anyone gets beat up too bad.

We've gotta get you state side from some proper photography bro! All I've got in my arsenal is an iPhone 6S HAHA.
 
I never knew plecos fight like this. Pretty awesome.
 
My advice is to remove one from the tank. Most likely they are fighting when you are not watching and one could end up dead the next time you look in on them

Yeah man. The Pseudacanthicus species (bulk my collection) are pretty aggressive in their own right. There's always little swabbles like this going on. It definitely adds life to an otherwise reclusive and uneventful group of fish.

Thanks for the warning. I'm keeping a very close watch on this tank. There are a ton of plecos in there with plenty of hiding spots. I make sure no one gets beat up too bad. If you notice, none of the fish in the video have split fins, cloudy eyes, or anything. Every fish is pristine.
 
That was good footage, my old plecos used to fight but never in mid water like that
