fish tricks??
« on: January 19, 2015, 01:00:38 PM »
Alright this is kind of a weird question, has anyone tryed to train there fish to do tricks for food? I see how eager the fish are for food and was wondering if I could train them? I have seen Oscars play with toys like pingpong balls but I wonder if you could make them respond to commands if trained? Something I am going to start trying. Looking for some feed back,  I have no idea how I am going do it but I think it's possible

I've had fish jump out of the tank before to get food when I've gone to feed them, but I wouldn't encourage them to do it.  ::)
