what!!!!! swimming in formation????

nice!
 
how do you train a fish to swim in complex formation.....
 
THAT.... is incredible!!! They are so adorable. They have to be so much smarter than I imagined.
:jaw:
 
Its an old video and still seems very fake to me
I do not believe it is fake unless someone can prove it is. It looks genuinely realistic and do not forget some fish are far smarter than we give them credit for. They are in their own right rather intelligent animals and that is just one of nature's wonders. Shame most of us just directly say a particular animal is dumb because it looks like one in his perception. If I am not mistaken, goldfish are part of Japanese culture. They happen to appreciate goldfish much more than other neighboring Asian countries with the possible exception of Thailand and Malaysia where goldfish farms also thrive. I do believe in their passion for this fish, they make up more of their time for their fish. I am also an Asian myself with passion for the fish although admittedly, I just do not train my goldfish to do some tricks that the videos have shown but I still feel attached and sentimental for them.:)

Wow, if people can train goldfish then they have waaaaaayyyy toooo muuuuccchhhhh time.
 
In the comments it mentions that they have ingested some kind of iron pellets and are being moved with magnets. This certainly seems to be the case as you can see them occasionally struggle against the direction of motion.
