When you think about fish, you usually think about a couple of animals with fins in a bowl. However, fish are a lot smarter than you think. This is displayed in the article that I read this week. You see, in fishbowls, most fish are actually able to identify what to do when they want food and how to choose friend from enemy. How exiting!
First of all, the study of these fish was done by scientist. The goal was to see how fish adapted based on where they came from. The fishes that did better where the one that came from coral reefs. This is a very important discovery!
From this information I have learned many interesting facts. First I learned that fish were smart and reacted to things like a dog. Also I learned that coral reef fish are smarter that regular fish. Now I might want to even buy a fish!

A couple of years ago when my fish was still alive, I remember how he pick and chose how much he wanted to eat. It puzzled me because I thought that fishes had a small sense of intelligence. After reading your post, I can see that these marine creatures are indeed smart animals.
Wow. Thats really cool that fish are smart. I always thought they were stupid, like gold fish. Nice post!
Smart fish? That is very interesting I would never have thought that a fish is as smart as a dog. Also, if you think about it fish are like humans because some are smarter than others.
