I don't know what he's saying, or how he did it, but this is amazing.

No they do not train the fish to do these 'tricks'. They somehow get metal into them and use magnets hidden under the table to drag the fish around. There are always a pair of fish that are exactly the same distance apart from each other at any given time, which suggests that there are pairs of magnets connected to each other to make it easier to move four or six fish using two hands. Note at 0:54 the rightmost fish is struggling against an 'unknown' force. This is called animal cruelty.

People. Think about this for a second. Use the rational and logic centers in your brain. Think! Think more! Keep thinking! Fish, perfect unison, weird wizzardly like asian dude, stupid music, magical phenomena!? You really think this guy took the MANY HOURS to train these fish that will probably die within 2 years anyway? NO? Then you're just stupid. Don't be stupid! I wouldn't call it animal cruelty though.They're goldfish. You wouldn't like what I do to the minnows that go on my fishing hook.

@miffymichael8 Think about this more carefully. Fish CAN be trained, I agree, but you see NOTHING "fishy" about this vid? 1. This guy isn't a "fish trainer", he's a magician. There's NO WAY, he took the time to train fish. 2. They're swimming in PERFECT pairs. 3. It DOES appear they are swimming against and unknown force. 4. Magnets wouldn't necessarily hold them down depending on the magnitude. 5. If you still believe this is real, I have some swamp land in Florida to sell you.

Goldfish have a memory-span of at least 3 MONTHS and can distinguish between different shapes, colors and sounds. Goldfish 3 seconds memory myth is already busted, Science proved it.

@HisEmptyHouse I'd love to see a video or article to support this. I've never heard of fish hatcheries training fish before, and it would blow my mind away if this were true.

@DudeWithFangsish The memory of goldfish being that short is a myth. The reality is that goldfish can remember things for up to five months. They have the memories they do because they use them to remember hiding places and food spots, like most other fish do.

@lolilulla You've clearly never been to a fish hatchery before. The people there like to train fish to do basically what you're seeing here, and none of it involves magnets. Fish are actually smarter in certain ways than people realize.

@miffymichael8 You are completely correct in saying fish can be trained; the videos on the right certainly give enough evidence to that. I was simply attempting to figure out whether these particular fish were trained. My conclusion, which I did not "jump to... ... so quickly," is that these fish are being manipulated by external forces. If this subject matters a lot to you, send me a pm and we can talk.

@DudeWithFangsish the 3 second memory is proven to be not true

[miffymichael8]

@lolilulla fish can be trained and the fish doesnt seem to be struggling that much so dont jump to conclusions so quickly. ps if there were magnets the fish would stick to the bottom of the tank and not swim
