Teach your fish tricks!

Dean Pomerleau and his son Kyle have trained a 3 year old calico fantail goldfish and some oscars to do all sorts of tricks, proving that fish are much smarter than most people initially thought.

They currently run a web site http://www.fish-school.com/ where you can purchase a manual on how to train your fish.

Well, my last Astatotilapia latifasciata passed away today.  Louie was one of my orginal trio.  Like Lana, she also had lymphocitosis and finally succumbed today.



Here's a photo of her from around June 2004

RIP Lana: 2003? - 2005-11-30

Unfortunately, Lana, one of the four original Astatotilapia latifasciata succumbed to her lymphocytosis.

The good part about it was up until a day before she died she was swimming and eating normally.  I noticed her with labored breathing about 10 hours before I found her in the early morning of November 30th.

:(



Here's a photo of here with her first spawn
One of the fry is in the bottom right of the
photo and another is near the bottom of her
dorsal fin towards her tail out of focus.  The
rest seem to be in her mouth :)

Rome recognizes the rights of fish and dogs
Last Update: 2005-11-04 11:19:32

Rome has banned spherical goldfish bowls and ordered dog owners to take their pets on walks.  Fairgrounds are also banned from giving away fish and other animals as prizes.

This new bylaw goes a long way to establish the rights of animals other than cats and dogs.  Two thumbs up to the Italians!

This is the answer to a post on http://cichlid-forum.com.  You'll probably be seeing a bunch of these in the near future as I'll be going back through them and turning them into articles.
