They like to rip competing males "spikes" right off as a show of dominance and to make them no competition in the eyes of a female.
this happens during shipping often and as a result, they can be hard to sex at the lfs.

If they were mating, they dould be doing it in nearr darkness from my experience, and doing a spiral like move to the top of the tank. Ken

Thanks for the help. It got more nasty but I managed to get the new comer out and I have a new home for him. It's a pity he was so docile, he even liked to rest on my hand....

They are fighting, and can't be kept together. You can try a social acclimation box like a recent thread descibes, but I'm pretty sure your "female" is a male. Some males take a long time to develop their dorsal spikes, and some never get spikes.

Wow I cant believe it was so hard for you to spot. When one fish has another part of a fish in its mouth like that and the spin around and bite . Umm they are fighting. I could tell within 2 secs of watching the video.
