“…Additionally, the experimental tank was surrounded with white Styrofoam to minimize disturbance. The tank was filled with aged substrate-treated water (23±1°C; see [ 46 ] for details). After each experiment it was cleaned and rinsed with hot water and refilled with aged substrate-treated water.…”

“…Additionally, the experimental tank was surrounded with white Styrofoam to minimize disturbance. The tank was filled with aged, substrate‐treated tap water (23 ± 1 °C) (for a detailed explanation, see Meuthen et al ., ) to a height of 12 cm. After each experiment, it was cleaned, rinsed with hot water and refilled.…”

“…A video camera (QuickCam 9000, Logitech, China) viewing the tanks from the top enabled recording of fish behavior for evaluation. Tanks were filled with substrate-treated water at 24°C 76 ; individual fish were then introduced and acclimatized for 1 h, this period is referred to as the pre-stimulus phase from now on. Experimental stimuli were thereafter temperatureadjusted to tank conditions and introduced at the point of 1 h 15min.…”

“…Female P. taeniatus were used exclusively due to their consistent activity levels relative to males 76 . Prior to experiments, fish were kept in mixed-sex 50 × 30 × 30 cm (L × W × H) stock tanks at densities up to 20 individuals and were fed daily with frozen invertebrate larvae ad libitum.…”
