Fighting - they will do one or more of the following:

Raise up high on their legs, pull back, and ram into each other.

Bite at legs, face, eyes, necks, tails

Chase each other

Knock each other over

Examine your tortoises regularly. You may not see fighting but you might see signs of biting in the form of cuts or pulled-out scales. Or blood. Also if a tortoise is always hiding, or runs away from the other tortoises. Or refuses to eat. Signs of stress. They may not fight at all - one tortoise may just give up, hide, and hope the other guy goes away. So watch 'em.
