Before squaring up for a fight, some fish check themselves out in the mirror to make sure they're big enough. This strange behavior was seen in bluestreak cleaner wrasse (Labroides dimidiatus), who ...

Cooperative behaviours, which often involve an exchange of goods or services between two types of 'trader', have intrigued researchers for decades. The bluestreak cleaner wrasse fish (Labroides ...

A species of fish, the cleaner wrasse (Labroides dimidiatus), responds to its reflection and attempts to remove marks on its body during the mirror test--a method held as the gold standard for ...

A newly updated study has found that the blue streak cleaner wrasse, Labroides dimidiatus, may be capable of recognizing themselves in reflections and photos based on mental self-images. Researchers ...

The cleaner wrasse Labroides dimidiatus often touches 'client' reef fish dorsal fin areas with its pelvic and pectoral fins. The relative spatial positions of cleaner and client remain constant and ...

Researchers address criticisms to previous work by providing additional evidence to suggest the cleaner fish Labroides dimidiatus has Mirror Self-Recognition. Mirror Self-Recognition (MSR) is seen as ...
