Hello! I just want to share this with you. I trained my goldfish to fetch a hoop from underwater to the surface. Enjoy!

That is cool, but why is your water so green?

Thats pretty impressive but you have a serious algea bloom going on there!

Hi, thanks for the comments. Care to share more regarding the algae bloom thing? I am not sure if it is a good or bad thing. I read that it reduces ammonia.

Algae is caused by ammonia, so yes it will reduce it, but for there to be that much you must have an ammonia problem, otherwise you're lighting is OTT

I'd guess you need a better filter and to move your tank from the window, at that level in a tank situation i would say that algae to that degree is not a good thing, a little is healthy but that really is quite bad

Also do you have any decorations in there? What size is the tank?

Is there a filter in there?

i knew gold fish could do this but never known some-one to teach ther egoldfish to do it

 

[fishnovice]

Amazing! How did you do it? I'd love to train my fish!

with food, you show the goldfish the move, wait for it to repeat the action and then give it food once it has completed the action, everytime you see it do the action, give it food, it will soon associate food with performing that move, and will perform the move in order to receive food.

It's not that bad.I'm sure with a ittle work you can make that tank look good
