😜 Fun Facts About Playful Behavior in Fish
While your child colors, it's the perfect moment for a little story: behavior in fish that looks like teasing or nipping sometimes has a more serious background too — certain small fish called cleaner fish "nip" other fish, for example, to remove annoying parasites or dead bits of skin from them. For the fish being cleaned, it's actually a welcome service, even though it might look like teasing at first glance. Other playful interactions between fish, on the other hand, seem to really just happen for the fun of the movement, with no deeper purpose at all. Curious kids can explore social behavior in fish further with a cleaner fish fact sheet on Wikipedia.
