Abstract

Lay summary:Video playback was used to examine if female Siamese fighting fish use male behavioral type in mate choice decisions. Males in this species exhibit consistent individual differences in their behavior when encountering a male and female simultaneously (Lover, Fighter, Divider). Females avoided the most aggressive male behavioral type, the Fighter male. We believe this is one of the first, if not the first, study to examine the role of female preference in maintaining consistent individual differences in male fish.
