How Does Color Effect Fish Feeding Behavior?

Initially inspired by Whites previous counterpart scientific study "Fish Can Recognize Human Faces, Studies Show," color was substituted for the association through feeding stimulus, then observed within controlled confinement to identify correlations between initiated stimuli and test subject behavior. The selected three test subjects consisted of cultured African semi-aggressive species, ergo the Hemichromis and Cyphotilapia Frontosa.

Experimentation consisted of two phases; feeding association and controlled observation. Phase one heavily depended on a week time span of the visible red colored folder and an in-tank red colored shape in order to influence successful feeding association and three-inch radius gravitation. In contrast, phase one displayed the yellow colored folder and in-tank yellow shape but purposely had the absence of feeding. Thus, in phase two, test subjects displayed their capability of color recognition due to phase one's applied feeding stimulus of red color.

Findings vary in each individual participant, but two test subjects specific results are similar due to their parallel species of nature. Results from this experiment indicate that color recognition within various fish species can affect fish behavior.

Yet, considering multiple constraining variables, this experiment has given insight on possible additional scientific questions that can be explored by future scientists. Further research can improve future understanding of fish behavior and their intellectual capabilities.
