You may be able to teach your dog new tricks, but what about your fish?

Well this talented baby Betta fish has been taught by its owner to jump through hoops.

Jane Tsai, 26, from Columbus, Ohio, USA, has been teaching 10 week old Max the trick for almost three weeks.

Jane, a law student, said: 'I started with teaching her to follow my finger, which I did by putting my finger against the glass, then dropping food right on top of it.

'After she began doing that consistently, I began sticking small bits of freeze-dried blood worms to my fingertip and holding it above the surface of the water, and she quickly learned to jump out of the water to get it.

'After that, I held a hoop with my finger in it so she would jump through the hoops and get treats off my finger.

'In the future I might try to teach her to push a small floating ball through a ring.

'I decided to Max tricks as I recognised after I first got her that she seemed quite inquisitive and brave.

'She loves exploring new toys and changes in her environment, and is very smart and fearless, so I wasn't surprised that she managed to learn this trick.' 

Clever fish! Jane Tsai, 26, from Columbus, Ohio, USA, has been teaching 10 week old Max the trick for almost three weeks. She coaxes it along with food on her fingers

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

So if you've ever considered visiting a SeaQuest location or any other Covino-operated aquarium, do yourself and animals a favor: Learn from these TripAdvisor and Yelp reviewers. At SeaQuest Folsom in California, an otter was apparently whacked with a broom. "This place smells the animals look tortured and starved. I'm not a fan of this place. Took my family and we ran out of there. … We will never go back. Also we saw an employee wack an otter with a broom. … If you love animals you will hate t
