# Teach Fish Tricks R2 Fish School By Noora Abu Eitah | Published 2008-05-09 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/r2-fish-school-teach-your-goldfish-how-to-play-soccer References: [r2fishschool](http://www.r2fishschool.com/) & [amazon](http://www.amazon.com/R2-Lights-Fish-School/dp/B00168A6DQ?tag=trenhunt0f-20) I am a great believer in education, but sometimes I question whether it is necessary to teach skills to creatures other than humans. Dogs are trained to find drugs or chase criminals, so I guess that's fine, but *goldfish*? Now, thats a stretch.... The **R2 Fishschool** provides a training kit that is fast and easy to understand. It shows you how to teach a fish to do amazing tricks, even how to play soccer! They can learn to play basketball, football, fetch and how to limbo and slalom. You can actually buy it through [Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/R2-Lights-Fish-School/dp/B00168A6DQ)for $29.99. What's next? Teaching monkeys how to drive us to work? ....very possible. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Animal Training:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new training methods and tools to teach animals unique and complex tricks. - **Pet Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create interactive toys and games specifically designed to entertain and engage pets. - **Non-human Skill Acquisition:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the potential of teaching different species new skills and behaviors for practical applications or entertainment purposes. ### Who This Affects Most - **Pet Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce innovative accessories and products that enhance the interaction between pets and their owners. - **Animal Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new ways to captivate and entertain audiences using well-trained animals. - **Training and Education:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create advanced training programs and technologies for animals in various industries such as security, healthcare, and agriculture. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Eye-Tracking Informational Aquariums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-aquarium.md) - [Aquatic Amphibian Children's Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tacos-frog.md) - [AI Aquarium Water Changers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aquarium-water-changer.md) - [Canine Knowledge Challenge Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-iq-test.md) - [Pet Communication Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluentpet.md) - [Fishy Tabletop Card Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fishy-squishy-crusty-quirky.md) - [Automated Canine Fetch Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gofetchr.md) - [Iridescent Garden Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handpainted-school-of-fish-glass-bird-bath.md) - [GenAI Pet Translators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/traini.md)
