  • Betta fish learned to jump through hoops! His mom, our producer Carolina, talked to the guy who started the whole fish training craze. His goldfish is the Guinness World Record holder for most fish tricks!

    New studies show fish remember faces for at least 5 years, show affection, and can learn tricks - there is a guy out there who taught his goldfish foosball from a custom tank he made.
    They all have sentience, and we should be doing better by them.

      Couldn't agree more and have been preaching this fundamental truth for as long as I can remember.

    The best fish story was on a Craigslist favorites list. Guy walks into the pet shop and asks for the worst off fish they have. Its a beta fish thats sickly that just exists. He buys and applies the meds and visits and talks to the fish. His color comes back and the fish is so excited to see the guy who seeks to make this sole fish happy.

    I never would have guessed that little fish like that could do tricks. Or even be taught to do tricks. But that's pretty cool
    I had four goldfish that I transferred from a medium sized bowl into a full-sized aquarium and where I had them located they could see the tv. And when the old old old old episodes of Roseanne came on, they would all line up at the corner of the aquarium and they would watch a full episode of Roseanne for a half hour. They wouldn't do it for any other show I don't know why that maybe it was colorful. But that was those goldfish and they were named Ricky Lucy Fred and Ethel😂😂❤❤🐠🐠

    I had a betta fish who would swim up whenever I got near my desk with his tank after coming back from school. Now I have a convict cichlid who swims up for food and shakes whenever I get close. However, when anyone else comes up to feed it, it swims down to the corner of the tank and doesn’t take the food like when I feed it. Fish can be special pets just as much as dogs and cats.

    I feel like most Betta fish owners already know this. They're known as very sociable, interactive fish with their owners.
    My sibling owned one that would very specifically greet them by swimming to the surface to be brushed by their fingers in the water.
    There's more upstairs in these creatures than we credit them and far more than enough reason for shops to stop selling them in horribly-tiny little bags of water.

Eventually the fish thought that was his name and responded to it. It was too long of a name so we shortened it to Aydy and he took to that as his name too. Ironically he lived to be the longest living beta she had at 2.5 years old with an interest in rabbit themed things and was able to do spin arounds for food

      Sounds like Aydy lived a happy life. I hope the tank was big, and that there wasn't any loneliness. It's always worrying, because if they have a major problem (like being incredibly bored most of the time) it'd be hard for them to communicate that.

    Great video, but having read the incredible, bestselling book "What a Fish Knows", by the biologist Jonathan Balcombe, which goes through all the scientific evidence about the intellectual and emotional complexity of fish, seeing them behaving in this way didn't surprise me in the least!

    When we basically destroyed most of earth ecosystems we finally figure out, "oh wait! Most animals are way smarter then we thought! And they feel!"

    Instead, there is a simpler way: knock on the tank when you feed the fish, as many times as you like. If you repeat this action, the fish will gradually become accustomed to humans through their learning ability. I don't know if the person is studying a different field of ichthyology, but it is easiest to explain things in a way that is easy for anyone to understand. Scholars often talk at length, but it is difficult to get the main points across. It is easier for the general public to understand if you explain things succinctly.
    ※ Just because you learn academic knowledge doesn't mean that animals will listen to you or understand you. When dealing with living creatures, there are no textbooks and experience is the most important thing. Goldfish are a species that has been artificially bred through selective breeding, so they are a fish that are easily accustomed to humans.😊
    By the way, the area where I live is one of the three major goldfish producing areas in Japan, and is a historic town that is officially recognized as a town.🤫
