Trained Goldfish Does Tricks and Plays Sports | Funny Fish Video
Bet you’ve never seen a goldfish do agility tricks and play sports, have you?
Then you owe it to yourself to check out this short video of Comet the goldfish doing all kinds of underwater (well, yeah! Duh!) tricks like swim through a tube and go through weave poles just like dogs to in agility trials.
What’s more, you’ll see the smart goldfish play amazingly well at a number of sports: Soccer, football, and basketball. See the goldfish shoot a soccer goal, send a football through the uprights, and dunk a basketball… and much more! Hmmm, I wonder if this little guy as read some books on sports to learn how to do all of this!
Here’s a little background on goldfish, in case you’re looking for information on how they might be able to do these kinds of tricks and play these kinds of sports.
Goldfish, native to China, have been kept as pets for hundreds of years. They are among the most popular of pond fish, given that they’re small, colorful, very hardy, and inexpensive. Contrary to popular belief, goldfish are not tropical fish, and as such, they do not need tropical temperatures (80F and higher).
A relative of the carp, a goldfish lives a very unassuming, less than glamorous lifestyle, spending time in the wild hunting in murky water for all kinds of foods like plants, insects, snails, and other fish eggs. So, they can eat just about anything. But that said, if you get goldfish, it’s best to stick to pre-packaged fish foods, especially if you’re a beginner fish owner.
They’re a strong fish when compared to other types of fish and as such, goldfish can survive in water with less than optimal pH. Given their strength, it’s no wonder they play sports and do the kinds of tricks shown in this video! This kind of activity is also good for goldfish since they quickly become bored unless they have other fish, or items (like a football, or basketball, or soccer ball, perhaps?) to interact with.
Finally, know that goldfish tend to be dirty; they have very primitive bathroom habits and no modesty in that regard whatsoever. So, change their water often to keep them healthy! And be sure they hit the showers to clean up properly after an intense game of hoops or soccer or football!
So there’s a quick background on the little goldfish. In addition, we now know that goldfish can be trained, goldfish can do tricks, and goldfish can play a few different sports!fish eggs fish foods funny fish video funny video clip goldfish goldfish doing tricks goldfish plays basketball goldfish plays football goldfish plays soccer play sports pond fish soccer goal trained goldfish tropical fish tropical temperatures types of fish weave poles
