Dermogenys collettei have been shown^[5] to exhibit shoaling behavior. However, contrary to predictions, they exhibited this behavior in low predation scenarios, forest stream habitats in low predation, and more open stream habitats.^[5] They did not exhibit shoaling when faced with immediate predation risk.^[5] Their behavior suggests that adaptive responses to immediate predation risk are absent.
