Fun and easy game for human and fish. In the wild, a fish would be foraging all day for little bits of food using his seeking drive. In a tank, food comes independently of his actions. Your little friend will love the feeling of control he gets from being able to directly influence his environment. In this video I used minuscule squares of 100% seaweed about 3mm x 3mm which I presoaked (they expand a bit). Take special care not to overfeed. Keep your sessions short. Signs of overfeeding can include: long dangly poo, weird stringy poo, belly rounded, fish hiding, fish not soliciting food as actively as he usually does. Remove uneaten food. To vary the game, draw the dot in a new location. This game is directly inspired by Karen Pryor's fantastic books.
