Do fish have personalities

Updated: 10/25/2022

My fish all act slightly differentโ€”it seems odd that fish could have unique personalities, but do they?

Some research out of the University of Exeter suggests that fish do have personalities behind those blank stares. Tom Houslay and his research team exposed guppies to scary stuff—a fake heron (rather aptly named Grim) and a fake cichlid, a predator fish (they called him Big Al, which I appreciate more than I can put into words). The team recorded the guppies’ responses over several exposures to those scares, and not only did individual fish react differently to the fright, but they did so in the same ways time after time.

The researchers thus concluded that the fish have their own, limited sort of personalities—in spite of being raised in the exact same environment, they respond to stimuli in ways that vary from fish to fish.

no this is just a fish's instincts they cant think like we do, they dont have a concious, therefore for everyone thinking they have personalities, although it may seem like it that is just you recognizing the differences in the breeds of fish, because it is like culture if you are african american you tend to do things differently then here in the U.S, so the fish arent expressing anything, the are just thoughtless creatures.

I would say they do. Some might, for example, swim around with energy, while others like to hide in rocks and other pieces of aquatic scenery.

In fish, the process of subjectivity arises from the way in which they distract their expressions.

Do betta fish have deffences skills?

Betta fish, like every other animal, have different personalities. Certain characteristics of these personalities can exceed others, such as intelligence, speed, skittishness, and interaction. If you're trying to train your betta, it can possess certain characteristics or "skills" that would make it easier or more difficult to train. In the wild, betta fish males will fight with other males for food, territory or females. A quicker-striking, stronger, more intelligent fish would persevere, thus passing their genetics and these skills into the blood of their young.
