That would be most likely 2 males fighting.

They mouth and push each other around to see who the boss.

should i seperate them

My fish do this sometimes. Its like one is punching the other in the face. They alsways seem to get over it as they find their territories.

You should be just fine.

should i seperate them

Only if it starts getting serious, such as badly ripped or torn fins, lots of scales missing or obvious wounds, or if their fighting is stressing out all the other occupants. Mbuna squabble over just about anything so you'll never completely stop it.
