Fish are trichromatic which means they can see all three of the most important primary colors which are Red, Blue and Green which can make many millions of shades of colors. Guppies which are a certain type of small fish mostly Found in trinidad and Barbados where they often do something such as penny pecking which is pecking at an object floating atop of the water as if it is a food and they make the fish peck at the object more depending on its color. Guppies color perception is based on the rods and cones inside they’re eye, Guppies have something called color vision or Color vision is the ability of an organism or machine to distinguish objects based on the wavelengths (or frequencies) of the light they reflect, emit, or transmit (EvoTheeye.com) The question is “ Do guppies have a favorite color” when put to the test most of the
With guppies as a base fish they evolved in the tea colored rivers and streams of Barbados. The guppies evolved into a species that is not only able to see ultraviolet spectrum but also be able to adjust their rods and cones to see further in the murky waters of where they originated. Other things that tetrachromacy can effect such as mating and who they are more and less attracted too. Tetrachromacy is common in not only fish but also in birds for things such as hunting purposes when the bird caws or screeches it makes the smaller prey animals urinate which the bird can see through that fourth cone from ultraviolet light. most Guppies who or born and developed in Barbados and in that general area where most of the waters were murky, unclear and had low visibility the base fish guppies had to evolve to be able to manipulate their cones and rods so that they could see through that water. Furthermore we often see color vision or tetrachromat fish is an early vertebrate Characteristic existing in
