Many of the behaviors I'm teaching my fish are explained in Dean and Kyle Pomerlau's R2 Fish School Training Kit. This brilliant fish training package includes clear instructions, well-constructed props, and a delightfully effective feeding wand. The kit utilizes sound operant conditioning practices to train fish in concise steps easily understood by novice trainers. The kit also provides a great foundation upon which more advanced trainers like me can expand to create complex training scenarios.
I highly recommend this product as well as the Pomerlaus' Fish School web site. Check it out!
