Abstract
Innate (natural) colour preference in animals is used for a variety of behavioural neuroscience purposes in many animal models. In zebrafish, colour preference is often used in combination with place preference testing and some memory tests. However, baseline colour preference seems to differ in the few studies examining this innate behaviour. This necessitates a protocol for reliable colour preference testing to establish preferences prior to using more complex behavioural paradigms. This procedure involves an aquatic plus maze with a central neutral zone and 4 coloured zones: red, green, yellow, blue. Adult zebrafish spent significantly more time in the blue zone compared to the red and yellow zones. There were no sex differences in colour preference. This procedure is a rapid, affordable, straightforward, and effective method to establish baseline colour preference.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
