As long as he is healthy it can always be mating season. Those kind of displays are common around feeding and in evening.

He's probably displaying for his reflection; letting that "rival male" know it's his territory.

Only problem is, that rival male keeps displaying back...

It's not really cause for much concern - best to enjoy the show.

The only way to lessen it would be to kill the reflection, with something like white paper on the outside of the tank in that area. But that's not really conducive to viewing the tank, either.

Yeah, that sounds like a problem. Once a fish becomes aggressive, there's not much you can do to change it.

I actually didn't catch the tank size before, or pay much mind to it in the video clip. But really, a 60 isn't big enough for either of these fish.
