Amazing trained goldfish -- or were they really trained to swim in formation like this? My guess is the guys fed metal filings to the fish and they have magnets under the table that drag the helpless fish around .. what do you think? [0:56]
On the other hand, perhaps training goldfish should be my new career since science hasn't worked for me thus far?

I believe what we're seeing is a high definition moniter under the surface of the water. The four fish began as one fish that was rendered multiple times. The "fish-trainer" was probably on the video production team that created the fishy images.
