Abstract
⺠Preference for dark environments is thought to represent anxiety in zebrafish. ⺠Chronic, but not acute, fluoxetine had an anxiolytic effect in scototaxis. ⺠Buspirone had the same effect, but moclobemide did not. ⺠Benzodiazepines also were anxiolytic in smaller doses, and ataxic at higher doses. ⺠Ethanol was anxiolytic at the smallest dose, but motor-activating at higher doses.
