Fish don’t always swim alone. Many swim in groups called schools, and it’s like a moving team in the water. Miluna explains that a school can help fish stay safer. When many fish move together, it’s harder for a predator to focus on one. Schools can also help with finding food. If one fish notices something yummy, others can follow.
