Tiger Barbs Fighting - Video

[millym]

hi
for those of you who dont have tiger barbs thought id post this short video clip of them nose to nose 'jousting' its hillarious to watch & they can go on for ages spinning madly round & round, fins right up tilting left & right..........this 2 went on for over 15mins before one conceeded defeat! i love they way the other tigers gather round to watch ( at a safe distance of course.............)
its not a brilliant clip but you get the idea of the event

ps: you'll need fast/broadband internet or im sure it will take forever to load

our rummys do quite often school together but the video was actually taken ages ago when we still had a coloured background & im sure i can see a danio or 2 - havent had danios for over 2 yrs now. the rummys were quite new then & stuck together closely.................... they spend more time doing their own thing now but still you see them at least once a day going for a swim all together..theyre gorgeous liitle fish
