i personally think that training your fish to do tricks is animal crultey, but that is just me.

actualy it sounds cool

im almost tempted! i thnk it is absolutly cute!

and why is it abuse to traid fish? if the fish dident want to do it, it wouldent. i mean, you can cram a fish through a hoop if it doesnt want to go.

I'm not sure I think it's cruel either....I've read about those "training kits", they swim through a hoop, then get food. Some people train their cats and dogs that way, is that cruel?? Just my opinion.

I agree, training a fish isn't cruel. Slapping them with a needle and colouring them up with dye is cruel. Dipping them in caustic solution and then dye is cruel. Letting the water level drop to extra low levels and letting the waste products build up so they can't breathe is cruel.

Teaching them some soccer isn't cruel.

I love training fish, it's so much fun. Works well on goldies, not so well on tropicals and Blind Cave Tetras are pretty much untrainable, so are Plecos!

I like to think that whoever designed marine life was thinking of it as basically an entertainment medium. That would explain some of the things down there, some of the unearthly biological contraptions
