Choc Gouramis Spinning Round In Circles?

[johnboy!]

Only had my pair for 2 days, and they're as healthy as any fish i've kept, so pleased, sat and watched them last night and they randomly stopped and followed eachother round, sort of like a dog chasing its tail but with 2 dogs if that makes any sense? Is this normal behaviour or is it aggression(i doubt that) or maybe courting?

my neon tetras do this... I call it dancing. They never headbutt or fin nip each other so even if it is territorial (or dominance) I leave them be. I'd wait for a more experienced person to comment, but that's my 2cents

Cheers for the reply Been looking at courting videos and territorial videos and it seems to be more like courting to me, but usually the court on the floor of the tank and not mid-way ?

I've kept chocs, and can confirm that this is normal behaviour for these fish
