Central Mudminnows Prefer Company Over Solitude, Revealing Social Nature
The central mudminnow fish prefers to hang out with other mudminnows, showing that they like to shoal together. When given the choice between a small group or a larger group of their own kind, they didn't have a preference for one over the other. This suggests that the size of the group doesn't really matter to them when it comes to socializing. This study helps us understand how these fish behave when they're together in their natural habitat.
