Zoarchias major Eelpouts Competitive Fighting | Japan

Two male Zoarchias major eelpouts engaged in competitive fighting, with a female eelpout visible in the background, peeking out from a hole in the hard coral. This competitive fighting behavior is likely related to reproduction, though there does not seem to be a one for one correlation with female acceptance of winning individuals.
