He is saying: "I don't want to be hoarded! I have rights!"
 
My botai loaches extend their spines from time to time, kind of like they are just stretching. I've never seen them used in an agressive nature though, even during the most heated territorial disputes.
 
I have never seen mine use theirs aggressively either, except when netting them.
