While some individuals show a rather consistent exploratory behaviour
across both tests (slope close to 0), most test fish either increased or
decreased considerably in exploration when being with a conspecific (steep
positive or negative slope). These individuals strongly synchronized their
swimming behaviour with the conspecific (i.e., remained closely together and,
thus, explored very similar parts of the test tank). Despite a synchronized swimming pattern, no further interactions such as
aggressive behaviour were observed
