Default Maroon Clown dominance behavior (vid)

Ha! Ha! After half an hour of sitting in front of my tank with a camera, I finally got a good long piece of it.

This is a video. On it, you're gonna see a bit of behavior described in literature: the female will dash at the male and the male will arc his body towards the female, sometimes shaking his head. After this, the male will "kiss" the spine of the female and everyone is cool.

I'm assuming this dominance behavior is to both reestablish pair bonding and keep the male from changing sex.

Anyway, without further ado...

Vid.

Oh, those are a pair of Gold Stripes btw.[/url]
