snow flake eels fighting

I decided to stop by my LFS yesterday on my way home from work, and as we all know this can be a dangerous thing to do since I nether leave without picking up "a few extra things"

anyway I picked up another SFE about 12inch and a small 1inch niger trigger
which brings my stock list to
2 sfe's one about 10inch and the new eel about 12inch
1 small niger trigger
1 pigfish(grunt about 4inch)
The trigger is doing great and eats like a pig.
the only problem is that the smaller sfe (been in tank for about 2 weeks) has been picking fights with the new sfe I figure this is a territorial thing so I move around a rock in the tank and added a few 1.5 inch pieces of pvc but still the eels fight .
Its like watching MMA they fight for about 10seconds the break up an go to separate corners and get ready for round two

I don't see any wounds so i assume that there fighting for dominance My question is if any one else has had the same problem?
the tank is a 75gal with a 55gal sump.

Lights have already turned off but I'll setup the video cam tomorrow when i get home from work.
maby I'll set up cam tonight and set it up to record while I,m at work.
I wonder how much record time I,ll get from a 2gig memory card?

cool thing I just got home from work and went staight to the tank xpecting the worst only to find both eels sharing the same piece of pvc pipe so I'll see how long the peace treaty lasts..
I'll keep the video cam close to the the incase they decide to go for round 3

the craziest thing iv'e ever seen was this little 6 inch SFE that had swallowed a damsel larger than it's girth. It was def. a mistake of eyes bigger than stomach, because after a minute of tossing, chocking, it started to chew its neck, it actually chewed through it and the LFS guy grabbed it in a net and when he went squeeze it, the damsel came out without a scratch. FREAKY
