Video of Beautiful Tang Fish in a Mating Dance Immediately Goes Viral
Are you a fan of romance and believer of true love? @sleeponleon is, and when he shared this video of two tang fish mating on Monday, September 18th, it immediately went viral. Apparently, people love a love story!
The clip is only 9 seconds long but shows two beautiful tang fish in an aquarium, performing some kind of mating dance (ritual? swim?). I wish the clip was longer! It's such a mesmerizing thing to watch, and the music that Leon chose to accompany it fits it perfectly.

@Leon says in his caption, "People like to anthropomorphize animals a lot, but still, I like to think they're in love". I'm with you, Leon! And so are a lot of other people. The video of the beautiful tangs in a mating ritual has nearly 10 million views, 3 million likes, and over 10 thousand comments. Talk about going viral! For such a short clip, it certainly got noticed.
Commenters had some thoughts about the video. @Cole got over 64 thousand likes for his comment, "Do they understand the deep intricacies of human love and connection, no. Are they in love, yes." to which Leon replied, "They don’t get lost in the entanglement and complexity of the phases of love, they just know." @mal shares, "Me and him when we die and are reincarnated as fish". @um ok wonders, "Is this too much to ask for?" @Dahlia added, "I saw this IRL while snorkeling once and it changed my life for real!"
Who knew two little fish could have an impact on so many people?! Do you believe they're in love? I don't know if it's love, but they definitely have some kind of connection drawing them to each other, even if only for a few minutes.
