美國教授花30美元教會金魚"踢足球"大綱

Pomerleau, a computer scientist living near Pittsburgh, first began training fish after his son, Kyle, won two goldfish at a fair in 2005. "The kids wanted a dog, so I tried to make the fish more interesting," he explains. Using a homemade wand loaded with fish food and lots of positive reinforcement, he trained them to do tricks.
