Never guess what I found at Goodwill... (hint: not a tank)

I was browsing goodwill, and I found this! Was only 5.99+tax, and considering retail is like $30-40, I couldn't pass up trying it out. At first I thought about buying a betta (GF has wanted one for a while) or a goldfish, but then I though there is no reason it couldn't work for a puffer, they're smarter than goldfish! So when I have time, probably during thanksgiving or christmas break, I might try to see if I can train Binks

Something to think about: Most of my fish have a natural fear of a net and swim away. So this training them to put the ball in the net (goal)... will it make it easier for me to catch my fish since they will be trained to go into the net?

Hah, never thought of it like that, I doubt itd worked that way though. I think after a while they'd realize the moving net = swim away!!
I'll try to keep you guys updated, but with finals coming up I won't have time to attempt this until break, so it may be a week or two until I can update. If all goes well I plan to make vids!
