      Great question! If Iโ€™m understanding your question right, I think youโ€™re asking if the patterns in the fish skin help them see different organisms. Youโ€™ve got the right ideaโ€“one of the reasons itโ€™s thought that zebrafish have patterns is so that they can recognize other fish that are also zebrafish like them.
