I had posted a similar video earlier (minus the 80's dance music). Those look like two male Red Shiners fighting over territory/spawning habitat. That is the way they challenge each other with the winner usually finding a good crevice in the rocks in that area to spawn with a female at. Are there any females in the aquarium? Mine didn't act like that unless there were gravid females around.

Im not sure if I have any females. I have a couple types of shiners in there, and I cant ID the females.
I only saw them do the dance that one day, so I guess they were able to negotiate a settlement. They are both still alive too.
