hey everyone how are you doing it Mike
here today and today we're going to talk
a little bit about fish intelligence and
awareness so I'm gonna prove to you
today the fish are a lot smarter than we
give them credit for anybody new to the
hobby or experience fish keepers that
have actually look at the fish can
definitely tell you that fish have the
ability to realize who the owner is and
who isn't there owner and we have a bunch of
clips here today that's going to
definitely show that a little bit
further but i want to start with the
first clip here i think is really cool
now i picked this clip off the internet
I'm going to definitely give credit to
this channel so he's in the exclamation
mark up in the top corner click
there and that will bring you the link
to the channel but i'm also going to put
in below in the description as well now
this first video is really cool because
they've actually train their fish to go
through rings for a food reward so check
this video clip out right here
This here is a gem of
footage for you guys as you can see here
the fish is going through in and out of
the Rings now you can see that the fish
is actually answering head to a hand
command signals body language that the
owner is giving ops so this fish is
obviously been trained to respond food
but the kicker is this fish was only
trained for two months according to the
owner so two months one hour a day and
he was able to get a fish do these
amazing tricks
so as you've seen from this video clip
food reward is definitely a way that you
can actually train your fish now it
doesn't just not there if you do a quick
Google search for goldfish training you
will actually find out that there's
videos out there goldfish doing all
kinds of tricks including playing soccer
for UK people in football for American
people know soccer for American people
and football for a UK people there we go
now we got it right so you got to check
this stuff out because i was totally
amazed that you could train a goldfish
to do a simple trick especially when
they say goldfish has a memory of three
to five seconds three to five seconds
three to five seconds
that's not very long how are you going
to training goldfish to go to the limbo
to go through a slalom and go through a
tunnel if there with 3 to 5 second memory
so that right there tells you that that
doesn't seem right to me so I could
definitely see that there's more to it
than that
so now i want to take you to all our
words now flowerhorns are amazing fish
when they have their playtime in the
tank and their mirror time and stuff like that
but i want to show you some amazing
clips where these fllowerhorns have
actually bonded with their keepers and
allow them to do some real amazing
things so these next clips here about a
minute long
I want to take a really good look at
them and that hope you enjoy these clips
alright so this this here is a beautiful
flowerhorn as you can tell by the
interaction with the fish the fish is
very friendly towards the order now
these are aggressive fish if they wanted
to do some damage they definitely could
do that but you can see that the very
like i said personable fish and they're
responding very well to the the owner
actually just playing with them so that
definitely shows a sign that they're
trusting and to have the ability to
trust the owner and to want to get some
sort of attention by him is definitely
some sort of sign of intelligence and
you'll see here from this video
the same exact thing you're going to see
the fish really just don't mind at all
being played and picked up with an even
tossed around at points
the fish are actually enjoying it and
crave the attention keep coming back for
more said if they wanted to they could
definitely do some damage so very
amazing fish right here so you can see
with these flowerhorns they are
absolutely amazing and and they really
really create that human attention so
you know fish has the ability to really
like somebody in the bond with and
that's definitely a sign of intelligence
to let your fish be that
comfortable with you let it basically
pick it up out of the water with your
heads is definitely something that is
impressive
now this next clip I want to show you
guys so this is mittens mittens is a red
devil cichlid this fish has a very unique
back story though this fish here was a
lab experiment basically straight up
that's what it was and the owner of the
fish was a marine biologist going to
school for marine biology your zoology
and one of the experiments that we had
was with these Red Devils to see the
effects that they would do on a Guppy
apparently on the guppy which I didn't
know one side of the Guppies guess is
more vibrant and shiny and when they
feel threatened they shine that one side
and it's kind of like a little bit of a
defense mechanism now I'm not a guppy guy so
I didn't really know about that so thought it
was very interesting
so this fish here was rescued and taken
home and it was a very long process to
get it to the point which what we're
going to see here today it took a long
time to get rid of the aggression
once the aggression was gone there was
an amazing fish underneath would take a
look at this clip
as you can see Mittens is definitely a
beautiful fish guys so this next clip if
this doesn't show fish intelligence i
don't know what will
and I'm even think i need to say anymore
let's just get right to the video clip
so we do want to thank the people in the
Flowerhorn hobbyist community who
definitely provided us some amazing
footage of the flowehorns i will be
putting all the youtube channels in the
description below so you guys go check
out the original videos subscribe to the
people if you would like
definitely recommend doing that support
the other
hobbyist out there and I hope you guys really
enjoyed this video and it makes you think a
little bit of how smart your fish is and
the potential that it probably could
have if you just spent a lot of time
with it and I'm not saying it's going to
work with every fish but it is
definitely cool that you could possibly
train your fish do some really cool
tricks if you put some time into it so we
would like to thank you guys for watching I really
hope you enjoyed this video and you guys have yourself
a great day
