196. Top 5 Fish Behaviors

From color changing, to art making, and even singing, we are constantly surprised by the amazing behaviors of fish – both in nature and in our aquariums. In this episode, the Water Colors team discusses their top 5 favorite behaviors exhibited by fish. Some of these are easy to witness in your home tanks, such as parental care, while others happen in the open ocean and have yet to be replicated in aquariums. Let’s take a deep dive into the amazing world of fish behavior!
