Information on How Music Affects Betta Behavior



Conduct an experiment to see how music affects Betta fish. Place several fish in individual identical tanks in a quiet location. Maintain precise variables for all the fish, such as common lighting, temperature and feeding. For several weeks spend 30 to 60 minutes a day observing the fish. Where do they spend most of their time? Are they consistently mobile or more static?Next, play classical music as you make your observations, noting the fish's behavior. (Use the same piece of music at the same volume each day.) Wait a week and then repeat the same test using rock music. Note if the different music genres caused any change in their feeding habits, aggressiveness and coloration.Read more: Science Projects Using a Betta Fish eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/info_7968901_science-projects-using-betta-fish.html#ixzz1KokcAm9K

  1. Hahaha-Does that mean we'll have to put a stereo beside the tanks throughout the whole experiment?
