A good observation is a specific example of a fish's behavior and environment. For example, the water is clear, a variety of vegetation has been added to the tank, and the fish is located at the bottom of the tank. Observations can then be used to make inferences and opinions. An inference would be that the fish appears to be searching for food, and an opinion would be that the variety of plant life is excellent due to the aesthetic value and the options of places to hide and explore that are provided to the fish. Observations, inferences, and opinions are important because they lead to the understanding of the fish's behavior and the establishment of facts. Scientists must gather observations and analyze the data they come up with instead of simply assuming how something works or behaves.
