PostSubject: School?!?!?!?!   School?!?!?!?! EmptyMon Jan 19, 2009 11:29 pm

A relative who knows I have fish and like fish got me this for Christmas (just got it today because she was late) anyway here's a link...http://www.fish-school.com/

I couldn't frickin believe it. I wasn't sure whether to laugh or what...lol. Has anyone seen this or tried it before? I've seen the video but didn't realize that someone would actually buy it. The target feeder is actually pretty cool but not sure about the rest. I'll have to see if my sevs can play soccer... :rofl:

If the videos I've seen aren't faked, people can/have gotten them to do it.

I think it's just a matter of repetition. I trained the koi and pacu to eat from my hand by doing it the same time every day. I started trying it with the Aro as well, but he stings when he misses. Smile

ROFL! That's funny... but the truth is that some fish absolutely love to play. When we had our goldfish in the pond, I used to throw in a ping-pong ball that they played with.

I have seen it before. Very interesting toys I believe some fish can perform the tricks. Good stuff!

goldfish are actually noted for their memory and visual skills. it is easy to train them if you provide the proper reinforcements, food! many studies have been done to see if fish recognize the feeder out of a group of people and goldfish defiantly do! one fish was even blindfolded and was able to distinguish the voice of the feeder with several other voices present! wow! see fish have more brain function than we give them, or maybe they just love to eat and will go to crazy extremes to get food.

I haven't tried my kit yet but I am interested to find out what they have to say in TFH magazine. The latest issues says that one of the writers has purchased the kit and is going to try it and do a review on it. I thought that was really funny since I just got mine a few weeks ago...lol
