    The document summarizes an experiment on how the number of mirrors affects the aggressive response of Betta fish. The experiment observed Betta fish with 0, 1, 2, and 3 mirrors. It found that the Betta's agonistic response increased with more mirrors, supporting the hypothesis. While the response to 3 mirrors was less, the fish likely became more comfortable over time. Future experiments could use a larger tank with more mirrors and test over shorter periods.

    Background: Method: Conclusions:


    In class, the fish had a very agonistic #1: Observe response of fish (meaning ● The Betta splenden’s agonistic
