Pairing or fighting?

Looks like establishing dominance, though it could be as part of a breeding ritual.

Definately, those two fish are fighting.............I have bred many fish in the past, mostly cichlids.......The fish seen in the video are more fighting than courting each other....

Fighting for sure, keep your eye on them. When they are pairing they will fan each other and start cleaning their spot but this is definitely fighting.

Yeah they are fighting.
