Final answer:

In Endler's experiment, the tank with high predation had less conspicuous colored fish, the tank with low predation had more conspicuous colored fish, and the tank with no predation also had more conspicuous colored fish.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Endler's experiment, it was hypothesized that the tank with high predation would have fishes with less conspicuous colors, while the tank with low predation would have fishes with more conspicuous colors. The tank with no predation was expected to have fishes with more conspicuous colors as well.

This hypothesis was based on the idea that a higher predation risk would select for drab-colored individuals to enhance their camouflage, while low predation risk would allow for the evolution of more brightly-colored individuals for sexual selection.
