    Yes, many fish have excellent eyesight and can see a wide variety of colours very efficiently.

    Many fish, like tilapia, recognize their mates by colour differences during the breeding season.

    Some species, such as the catfish Clarias gariepinus, have small eyes and poor eyesight, but use their barbels as taste organs in muddy water or in darkness to find their position and food.
