I watched a thing on discovery channel the other weekend on the largest aquarium in Europe. In it they took this thing that kind of looked like a water jug, stuck fish in it, and threw it into the beluga whale tank. The beluga's knocked the jug around until the fish came out and ate it.

Working on a more simplistic approach. I took the lid from one of my no longer in use DIY CO2 bottles. Filled it half full of pellets and placed it floating on top of the water in my tank. The JD cautiosly swam around it the started nudging it around the tank until it finally tipped over. It was funny to watch. Especially when it dumped all the food out and the featherfins actually came out to get some of the food that was in the water column rather then waiting for me to drop disc into them later.
 
Thats cute.
Gives your fish something different to do in the tank.

I wish I could do that with my fish, but they are too small.
Hey here's an idea, I do this with my dog. I put her biscuits in a bottle, punch some holes on the side and watch her roll it around the yard.

I suppose the same can be done for a fish?

get a kong.stuff it with peanut butter and freeze it..then give it to your dog.

we have a std pomeranian..with a mini kong..she loves it and will be occupied with it for hours.
we use the big one for our black lab..just like catnip for cats...LOL
 
I have heard that dogs like peanut butter, but I feel that it is too salty for them - and salt makes them lose hair.

At 10 years old, my girl has gotten too smart for games and simply uses her paw to shake the biscuits out. These day's she prefers to hang around me and nap or look out the window, especially since her sister pass away 2 months ago.
