Ding Ding Ding, Lets get ready to rumble...

Well, last night when i headed down to feed my fish, i saw that 2 of my barbs (dont know what kind..but they are see through) were locking jaws and spinning all over the tank. These two are the two males i have, the two females are really fat with eggs, so im assuming thats what the fight is about. They were really going at it...are they gonna be ok? will they stop once the eggs are laid (no egg will survive...they are in a community tank). So...what should i do? just let them fight? it was kind of interesting, but...scary too.

Mine used to do that all the time. Never hurt each other. If it looked particularly bad I would just throw a little bit of food in the tank. By the time they had finished eating they forgot what they were fighting about. It's the usual crazy barb behavior
