Your catfish is Mystus leucophasis an Asian catfish. Mine did that too when they were fighting for territories. Put some branches(upright position) in your aquarium and they will live in peace. If you change something in aquarium decorations M. leucophasis usually starts to fight with each other. It usually takes couple of days to settle down.

So they are asian. cool thought they were african. Sorry about posting it here.
So they are fighting. Yeah I recently added some plants to the tank. And each stays on 1 side of the tank. 1 by the heater the other by the filter. One use to stay at the
with some drift wood.
How can You tell the sex on them?
I was hopeing one was a female because she has a rellay large belly.

Males will have an elongate genital papilla just in front of the anal fin.

Keep an eye on them as they grow; you might need to separate them.
