Barramundi, Murray Cod Territorial display rituals?

[dingoofus]

So I took a video of my Murray Cod and Barra, they were sizing each other up, and it looked like they were doing some sort of dominace ritual. Their bodies were on an angle, they were face to face and just staring each other down. It reminded me of two crocodiles trying to assert dominace, or even to antelopes just before they clash heads. I wouldn't be surprised if Barramundi and Cod done some sort of ritual to try intimidate the other before having a scrap , but it's interesting that it seems both species will perform these rituals to each other. It's interesting to watch, and sorry for the shine of the glass.

(if someone could tell me how to properly inbed a video into threads it would be appreciated too)

Does anyone think that these fish were performing some sort of ritual? Just like other animals do before a fight?

P.s, I will have to move the Barra from the tank soon, it was only mean't to temporarily house him.
