    The study tested how male Betta splendens respond to different colors by recording their behaviors when exposed to black, orange, purple, blue, and yellow colors. Behaviors like operculum flares, reaching the surface, and erecting their dorsal fin were counted. The researchers hypothesized that each color would elicit different agonistic responses in male Bettas. Their results showed that purple elicited the most operculum flares, surface reaches, and dorsal fin erecting, suggesting that color does impact male Betta behavior and purple is the most effective at provoking an agonistic response.

    Sandy Spring 16923 DATA
    Norwood Rd. ssfs
    Method : 1. to count the

    Background: we want to
    know the male bettas
    response to the different
    colors.

    Alternate Hypothesis:
    every color will elicit betta
    splenden in agonistic
    Null hypothesis: any color
    doesnt affect agonistic in
    male betta.

    movements in a certain
    movement.
    2, Test color on the Betta Fish.
    3. Use Ipad to record for thirty
    seconds three times.
    4, Record data.

    Conclusion: The Betta fish just


    responds to the different colors
    ( black,orange, purple , blue ,
    yellow) The color purple is most
    effective color to the Betta Fish.

    Research
    Objective:
    To
    prove whether it is the
    different colors of another fish
    that makes the Betta Fish
    show the agonistic response or
    not.
