Spawning or sparring? Either way they have never done this before.

I think the video problem is caused by posting from a mobile, so it gives the mobile site link?

In answer to your question, I don't know! Some of mine do the same sometimes, and I'm sure I've read that sometimes polka dots do look as if they're about to kill each other, then the next minute they're best of friends...

I think it's normal behaviour - mine do it too sometimes, though maybe not so vigorously. Polka dots are very social species that need the company of their own kind and form complex relationships.
