A new study by ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies finds that a chromis' genes can change from one generation to the next to adapt to higher temperatures.

It's in the genes! by Admin | Jul 21, 2015 | Advanced Aquarist

Talk about an interesting oddball study! Researchers conducted an experiment to see how the smell of fish impacted human test subjects' ability to reason. It turns out smelling fish makes people more suspicious, skeptical, and better critical thinkers!
