Watch as Two Ornamental Fish “Battle” Relentlessly, Leaving the Internet in Stitches.
A video clip capturing two ornamental fish vigorously spitting sand at each other has caught the attention of netizens.
In the clip, the two fish fill their mouths with sand and swim towards their opponent to spit sand in their face. At one point, seemingly to assert their dominance over the area, one fish dives into its burrow, fills its mouth with sand, and swims over to the entrance of its opponent’s burrow to retaliate.
Experts on fish have explained that these are two Jawfish competing for territory, attempting to use sand to block their opponent’s burrow rather than just playing around.

“Do you even know how tiring this is? Watching you two makes me feel exhausted. At this rate, when can I finish to go eat?”
