Group members in M. auratus do recognize their own group and prefer it
to an unknown group in a choice experiment.
Prior experience of subordination decrease [sic] aggression in high ranked animals,
the reverse is true for dominant experience in low ranked fish. The rank stability
is thus reinforced.
