my best guess, since there is somehow a golden puffer amongst other puffers...this is some kind of pack that let the golden one in..

So, working out a pack order..."I am the boss", "No, I am the boss"????

Since they are each equally aggressive..no one ever wins..and they just do this all day..

It looks like she is about to drop the eggs and they are instigating her to do so, so that they can seed them. You can she drops something and they break off for a bit.
if you follow me, you avoid stepping in the crap that I just did...

My guess was funnier...

But you are probably right...which makes the golden puffer attention to the female pretty funny as well...I guess that is how he rolls..

That was an amazing video, wow! And such beautiful puffers, I'm so used to seeing them in tanks that I kept almost expecting to see an edge of glass somewhere, lol. Obviously not used to seeing them in so much water, and it's such a treat to see them swimming around in the wild!
