Cute. But don't have to retrained constantly? I think it was on Myth Busters they said a gold fish can only remember something for a couple of seconds.

Our local tropical fish store had a pair of long nose elephant fish and they used to play with small plastic balls that were placed in their tank - pushing them around with their noses. It was sweet to watch.
