Species - Oriental darters. Description - It was a territorial fight. The darters were fighting to get hold of a potential fishing area in a waterbody. As I watched, one darter approached, gliding gracefully over the water towards the area where the second darter was trying to catch fish. Immediately, the second one reacted to challenge the attacking darter. In no time, they started fighting and jumped from water into air while trying to hurt each other. All these happened within a very brief period of 4- 5 seconds. After the the intruding one retreated and flew away. This pacified the defensive darter and finally it could concentrate in fishing again.
