Football Playing Goldfish

I thought I had heard it all, that was until forty one year old Dr Dean Pomerleau from Los Angeles stepped forward and announced that he had trained his goldfish to play football!

You think its crazy that a goldfish can play football? Well Comet the goldfish not only plays football, this clever little goldfish plays fetch, pushes a rugger ball over a series of posts and even slaloms round poles.

Comet is a young two year old goldfish with the world at his feet, well flippers. His owner Dr Pomerleau has spent alot of time using food as a reward for Comet completing tasks like playing football, much like how you would train a dog. This type of training is called positive reinforcement training.

Dr Pomerleau has even gone as far as to say that given the correct training a fish can LIMBO!!! Due to the sensational football playing Comet the goldfish Dr Pomerleau has worked with a company called R2 solutions to create a special kit so anyone can train their goldfish in the comfort of their own home.

Well I dont know about you but Comet the goldfish sounds like one in a million to me, I have never seen or heard of a goldfish playing football...they normally just swim around making bubbles.
