Train your fish to bend it like Beckham
Nobody bats an eye when a dolphin jumps through a hoop. But a molly?
The R2 Fish School is a training system that gives you the goods to train fish from 1 to 6 inches long to go through tunnels, do the limbo, even fetch. It was developed by fish-training expert Dean Pomerleau, whose goldfish, the aptly named Albert Einstein, has mastered several tricks. Included in the kit are an instructional DVD, training platform and 20 accessories, like a feeding wand, and basketball hoop.
OK, we have no idea if fish are into playing soccer or basketball but the video at www.r2fishschool.comis fun.
Available for $29.99 from www.amazon.com, or go to www.r2fishschool.com and watch the fish Comet perform.
