Comment on Do fish ever play tag or hide and seek?

My fish play with laser pointers, and the fish in the live bearer tank tend to “play chase” (it’s not aggression or mating behavior, because there’s no fin nipping or flashing, and they don’t flare), but idk if that would be a thing in the wild. Probably is.

Play is low-risk skill practice, so it makes sense that ambulatory creatures would do it.
