Generally, are bigger fish more shy?
I'm doing a school project and my thesis is that big fish (about the size of a hand or bigger) is more shy than small fish. Is this true, do you have a good explanation for this?
Thanks in advance!
and smaller fish as in the size of half a hand. I'm just talking about pet fish, not whales or sharks. Thank you!

I don't thing there is any direct relationship.
Some small fish are very "brave", I had a tank of guppies, tiny little fish, but put your hand in and they would come up and pick at it. I also have some "wild" freshwater eels living down in the back garden stream that would quite happily try and take your hand off, and being 4ft of fishy muscle could actually do some damage.
It depends on actual fish species and what their natural habitats are. Some larger fish are quite territorial and aggressive, others are very shy and will hide rather than confront an intruder.

Do your own homework.
And do your own research. Use this like I did when I wrote my thesis on Micropterus salmoides floridanus... http://www.google.com/
