Bala Sharks rubbing against each other

[rickf]

I have 2 Bala Sharks that I noticed starting today rubbing against each other. Any idea what this might be? I uploaded a video here Bala Sharks rubbing against each other - YouTube

I looked it up to double check but it looks like a courtship dance. I've seen many fish do something similar and it's usually them trying to get busy with each other.

Hope that helps.

The sharks seem young so I'm not sure if they could breed. How big is the tank?

My red tails were doing similar and I was told it was to assert dominance.

I did notice some stuff falling to the rocks when they were doing it the first time. Could have been scales I guess

They are going to need a 125 soon they get big and need lots of swimming space.
