Fish Training Kit – Train your goldfish with the R2 Fish School

Ahum … didn’t this blog promise to bring you useful products, not gadgets? Indeed, I meant to remember something like that. But in my defense, I want to say that this product is both completely silly and brilliant at the same time, so I couldn’t resist having a closer look. Then I noticed that it’s getting rave reviews by people who’ve bought it, and it’s absolutely great for the kids, so here we go: This kit brings you over 20 training accessories and tools for your … fish.

Why It’s Clever

Now that Blacky is housebroken, maybe you’re up to a new challenge. Why not teach your goldfish something more useful than gazing at you from its tank? This kit helps you teach your fish to perform several tricks, making use of the supplied accessories. The tricks include doing the limbo, fetching, swimming through a tunnel, swimming the slalom, shooting baskets and swimming through a hoop. Now, when you’re not considering joining the local circus, what’s the use of all this? Well, first of all it’s fun, and we could all use some of that, right? And it’s a welcome change having your kids working together on this project instead of sitting braindead in front of their game console. It’s also guaranteed to amaze and entertain your guests.

But it also gives you valuable insight into behavioral training for all kinds of animals. Because your expectations toward a dog’s level of understanding might be a bit too high, it can be frustrating to teach it to behave as expected. But if you succeeded in training a fish first, your dog would be a piece of cake after that. Hey, it might even help you to make the kids do as they’re told.

Now, who’s going to take the initiative to organize the first “fisholympics”? Comet, in the video below, is a candidate for gold in the Decathlon!
