I was referring to the behavior of a group toward an individual.Jim Powers wrote:Neither does different bahaviour. Most loach keepers can tell you that there is variation in behaviour and temperment among individuals of the same species. The botinae, in particular, are notorius for this.
Individual temperament is interesting to observe but it does not allow to make any general conclusions.
A group behavior toward an individual OTOH is statistically averaged and may well lead to very interesting results.
