I don't know their genders. I have had them for a few months now, I just noticed they do this a couple of times per week. Both had back fin damage this past week, I assume as a result of this.

I have heard two different theories on this, that it is an action to see who is the most dominant, or that it is courting behavior. As you don't know the genders of the fish, it's difficult to say what the cause is. Mine have done this as well, on a limited basis. Keep an eye on them, treat them with Stress Coat or Aquarium Salt to help them heal, and consider separating them if it does not resolve.

Usually a result of territorial behavior, it is common in many types of aggressive fish. Make sure that you are keeping up with your water changes or consider adding freshwater salt to prevent infection with torn fins, and speed the healing. If you rearrange the tank or add new decorations, it will keep them occupied and stop the fighting for a short time.

Angelfish are very territorial and its mostly likely that you've got two males and they're fighting for dominance. If they have fin damage I'd separate them if you want them both to live!

Angel fish are actually Cichlids. Which are aggressive fish. What you are wittnessing is them displaying dominance. The fin damage is from them fighting.

The sunlight (Sol) and the Earth are portion of the image voltaic equipment. The image voltaic equipment is portion of the Milky way Galaxy. The image voltaic equipment orbits the centre of the galaxy so hence Sol does one orbit or spin around the Earth each 250 Million 12 months approx.

It's common in many kinds of fish. Gourami's do it a lot, and yes, it is territorial behaviour. They're arguing.

they are fighting for dominance... most likely two males
I had two male angelfish that did that constantly... one eventually died from injury

they are either fighting or courting, try getting another one about the same size, maybe they will breed for you

They're probably fighting.

angels are cichlids, and most cichlids fight using their mouths and locking themselves together.
