Can fish see in color or in black-and white?

(very common question)

Yes!

Many fish have color vision but some colors do not penetrate deeper water - blue is better seen at depth than red or yellow. Fish color vision is probably very different from ours. Contrast betweeen the color of the foreground and the background is important for their sight.
