Artist's Comments

This was common to see. they would swim around each other as they both rose to surface and then they would dive down together, aether starting to barrel roll over each other or to mimic one another in a slow swim around the tank.

Shouka and Merlin at SFDK 27.08.08

Those sunlight reflections are heaven :heart: I just love the poses, the size difference, two different species that would normally be enemies...it's lovely and dreamlike. :)

Shouka seemed interested in trying to mate, Merlin seemed very amused and curios about what Shouka was trying to do. He was more interested in playing.

oh wow. that sounds like it was intense. Well She seemed a little gentle with Merlin, but it was obvious.

She did seem to enjoy being able to interact with Merlin and there is a great difference from before when she had no one else in her tank.

What you describe there is a dance and it means that your title is correct. This photo is fantastic, because it shows how their pectoral fins touch; in the wild, that only happens between friends.
