“Acquiring food, reproduction, defence and attack are the main reasons of fish behaviour. Fish in the shoal struggle for domination. Menacing appearance may be enough for victory”, reads the narrator. It sounds like a nature documentary. But don’t be fooled. The dense atmosphere of the aquarium fish fights can trigger primordial instincts in people.
