this doesn’t even seem theoretically possible? How’d the fish know what it looks like?
I can see its reflection in the left wall of the tank, so maybe it can too. In that case, it could learn to recognise its reflection in the obvious way (this image moves exactly as I do) and then mistakenly identify the photograph as a reflection. Also, fish are bendy and have wide-spaced eyes, so it can probably see parts of its own body when it turns.
