    Our fish will eat right out of my hands. I attribute that more to gluttoney than to training though :)

    I recently taught my Niger Trigger to remove my beer bottle cap, everytime I decide to have one or six!
    Then, my fish start to sing back up vocals as I bang out a Jimmy Buffett tune! They love "One Particular Harbor" especially!
    heheheheehehahhahahaha...
    Nah, my fish don't do tricks just conditional responses as when I enter the room, they follow me around in hoopes that I will be stupid and feed them everytime I enter the fish room! I think Freud invented it... no?

    I have actually "Pet" my engineer goby. I've had him since he was a half inch long and he's now somewhere around 10? I can put my hand in the tank and he'll rub in it. One time I stuck out a finger and he rubbed on it........(ok all ya'll perv's, leave that alone)
