Fish. This is a creature we never really bother to think about – unless we are having a delicious meal made out of it during dinnertime!
But these animals are actually quite fascinating. When you pause to think about how many species of fish are living underneath our oceans, it can spark a bit of curiosity and wonder.
Fish fun facts
There are so many things we don’t know about fish, but there are some pretty interesting facts about these sea animals.
They are social and build friendships
Believe it or not, fish are very social creatures, so much so that they place an emphasis on their public life and reputation! Fish are able to recognize and remember other fish.
They also build complex social networks under the sea. Fish can even tell when they are being observed by others and change their behavior accordingly.
Apart from this, fish nurture their friendships and show affection, and they also have many amazing ways to communicate. In the same way that birds sing to each other, fish chirp to call to each other.
Fish have great memories
Contrary to popular belief, fish actually have pretty good memories. The myth of the goldfish brain doesn’t hold true for all fish.
Some species of fish have been shown to recognize and remember people that give them food as a reward. Cleaner fish can even remember the “clients” they clean, which can be as many as 100 fish.
In turn, the client fish remember who their cleaner is! Fish can even remember musical tunes, returning when the same music was played at sea. Fascinating, huh?
Fish are excellent learners
Fish are more intelligent than we think. They can learn how to build nests, use tools, and catch food in clever ways.
They even line their burrows with coral to strengthen the overall structure of their home. Some fish are even known to steal other fish’s beds if they like the look of it!
