These fish aren't camera shy.
The two silver sargos were caught on camera kissing recently at their home in the , delighting children who can be heard squealing in the background.
Jose Bacallao Jr., operations manager at the aquarium, said the behavior is probably "a bit of courtship."
"The sargos have some really cool 'social' behaviors with each other including the 'kissing' and quick color changes," he said. "Often we see the black bar fade and reappear very quickly."
