I have read in here several times on how people have taught their puffers tricks. Well I guess I have to ask, how in the heck would you go about teaching them to do stuff and what can you teach them to do? All mine seem to do is eat poop and sleep.

Theres the R2 fish school kit, designed for goldfish, puffers are smarter so they should do fine.

Wonder what mine'd do with a golf ball? Might eat it I suppose! Wonder if they could even get a grip on one...
I found a load at the bottom of a cliff on a dive once and was bouncing one in front of an octopus until it decided enough was enough and shot off. Funny thing was it shot off into a sea urchin and you could see it go 'yeowch!'

+1. I have seen lots of fish on YouTube getting trained with this kit. I think there was a video of a GSP, actually.
