Man 'trains' his pet fish to play football in their tank

A man in China’s Guangdong Province claims he has 'trained' his pet goldfish how to play football.

Setting up a 'football pitch' in their tank, Yang Tianxin started training the fish back in 2020. Now, he has five Ranchu goldfish capable of shooting a ball into a goal.

According to WikiHow, the best way to follow in his footsteps and train your fish is by making the creature follow your finger, and rewarding it with food.
