Default What can your oscars do?

I am just beggining to train mine, so far they follow a little light i have for food, they also know when the hood goes up there is food.

So i just wanna know what cool tricks your oscars can do.

most fish will come to the top when the hood is opened when ther used to being fed that way, i keep malawi cichlids and they all do it, my mom keeps giant gouramis (osphronemus) and they do it too
