FISH TRAINING BIOLOGY
For you and your fish to become the perfect training duo, you need to understand how your pet sees and explores its surroundings. A fish is more likely to succeed in training if you use clearly visible targets. Fish can see colour, so you should use targets in a variety of different colours that stand out against your fish’s tank environment. However, you can help your pet know where these targets are by keeping in mind how fish sense the world in other ways. Fish have an organ called the lateral line, which makes them very sensitive to sounds and vibrations in the water. When you have set a target, you might want to clap your hands near the target just before training. This not only alerts the fish to where you are, but also helps them associate a particular sound with training time.
