A Experimental design of an exploration challenge using early (8 dpf) and late (30 dpf) larval zebrafish or paradise fish (species categories) applied alone or with a companion (group categories) to the slalom test. Colour code for the apparatuses matches the colour code of the plots. B Mean transition latency (scaled and averaged entry latencies to each chamber) of subjects. # represents significant main effect of the species category, * represents significant difference between group categories. C Percentage of the animals that reached the last chamber in a 10 min long session. D Distribution of exploration latencies (histograms) and the probability of their uni-, bi-, or tri-modal nature. The highest BIC values show the most likely number of independent gaussian distributions that the total distribution may consist of.
