Fish Trick of the Day

7/ 22/ 13

Hello everybody!  It's Katie.  I'm going to be doing this fish trick of the day.  Make sure you only train three times a day for minutes each time.  Try practicing each of the three tricks with your fish one of the three times you practice.  Only do all three tricks if your fish knows at least two of them.  When we get more tricks and your fish knows most of them you can get a jar and put a name of each trick on one piece of paper.  This way before each session you know exactly what you're going to practice, because you drew it out of the jar!  This trick is going to be kind of like the one I did for the lizards earlier on, but with fish!  We've already got our fish following our hands with treats  (At least I hope so.  If your fish doesn't know this trick yet go back to it.  To find it go to the right hand column and go into the word cloud and press fish.) , but now lets try and get them to follow your hand without treats.  Now lets move on to the trick.

Supplies:

Your Fish's Favorite Treats
You, the Trainer!
Your Fish 

Getting Your Fish to Follow Your Hand Without Treats:

1. First warm up your fish by doing this trick with treats.  

2. Repeat step 1 until your fish is completely warmed up with that trick and is ready to move on!

3. Now take the treats out of your hand, but still act like you have treats in your hand.  Start doing the same trick as we did in the warm up, but like this.  When you're satisfied with your fish give him a treat.

4. I would normally use a clicker, but for a fish they won't really be able to hear underneath the water.  I guess your just going to give them a little more treats than you normally would for any other trick.  Keep up the same thing you were doing in step number three, but give them a bit more treats.  This way they know they're being good.

5. Repeat step four until your fish is following you hand!

6. Wow, you did it!  You've trained your fish to follow you hand without treats!
