is the removal of the target the marker? Nice video...what do you usually use as markers for fish? Iam debating between using sound or a visual marker like a led light. : ) wonderful video btw
These fish didn't really have a marker, I just tried to provide reinforcement as immediate as possible. We didn't use a marker because there are so many fish together and some that were more aggressive than others so we didn't want to give the aggressive ones a heads up that food was coming :) If I used a marker, I would tap the water.
awesome job ladies, veRy cool, and those aRe some gReat looking MooRish Idols too

Can they retrieve a ball? How long did it take to go through the hoop? Cute! Great work!

The one thay goes through hoops could probably learn to retrieve a ball/object. He is very curious and highly food motivated.

Great video! I'd love to have a fish pond of fish to train like this. Are these salt water fish?
