I've been keeping goldfish for nearly 20 years and have never seen a fight. They are very social and usually very nice to each other.

What you are prob witnessing is mating behaviour. Males can get pretty aggressive when spawning, sometimes to the point of stressing the female to death. It's best to move one of them to another tank if possible or to find some way to separate them at least temporarily to let the female rest.

Hamsters can often be more vocal and aggressive during mating, but it's important to closely observe their behavior to differentiate between fighting and mating.
