Teaching your fish tricks

[kellylake01]

well i got bored one day wile waching my fish tank, my golden wonder killi fish was jumping and bashing his head on the glass of my tank , trying to catch the fly that was waling on the OTHER side of the glass. Lo and behold i thought of a neat idea, digging trough my meal worm farm for a freshly molted worm.

Killi Killi (my gw killi fish name) and i made a trick, he jumps and eats freshly molted worms form my fingers and i prove many dog owners wrong, you can train a fish and even have the little jurk scare you while cleaning algae from the tank

so any other bored aquarium hobbyist train their fish to do something cool??

I've got fish to eat out of my hand before. My Bettas especially will jump right out and if I have too tight of a grip on the bloodworm, they will sometimes hang on until I let go. LOL

Some fish will feed from your hand's

They need to build up the courage and trust first though.
