Training Your Fish

zooillogix | April 1, 2009

I cannot train my dog Mathman not to poop in the house, but an aquarist named Lindsay at the New England Aquarium has a Lumpfish named Blondie to do tricks (no flaming hoops yet). Note that this is not an April Fool's joke. If it were, Blondie would also be performing Under the Sea in its entirety. Learn the secrets of fish training from the master herself and impress stoned friends with your goldfish wrangling! Thanks to Jeff Ives of the NEAQ for sharing.
