A Microcosm of Humanity in a Fish Tank

Watching the Rasbora fish
in my ten gallon aquarium,
I’m seeing a microcosm of humanity:

Some of the Rasboras get along
and seem like friends.

Some dislike each other
and have occasional spats.

Some of them hate each other
and get into territorial wars.

Some of them seem to fall in love.
and mate and have fish kids.

Most of them just want to get along
and go swimmingly about their daily business.
