Fighting fish Betta splendens extract relative information from apparent interactions: what happens when what you see is not what you get
Article Abstract:
Male Siamese fighting fish are studied for the use of signaling interactions in the aggressive reaction to an opponent. Two fish are placed next to each other, while a third fish watches as they fight. This information is shown to affect the bystander fish's reaction to the winning and losing fish, through the display of male gill cover erection, tail beats, and bite attempts.
