This study measured the agonistic response of Betta splendens to pictures of other Bettas. The researchers hypothesized that the size of the picture and length of time shown would affect the response. They found that showing a picture one inch from the tank for the longest time elicited the strongest response, staying alert. The experiment could be improved with more organization and focus on controlling variables. Future studies should have only one independent variable to better isolate effects.

Null Hypothesis: The independent tank that our Betta fish stayed on alert for the variable will not change the agonistic longest amount of time. Future directions: Next time, more response of the Betta. Acknowledgments: Would like to thank Alice controlled experiment.

Hypothesis: The size of the Betta shown will change the agonistic response of the Betta splendens in the tank.
