When I feed my fish I have a hula hoop that I toss Aqua Max 400 in for the bluegills to eat. As they like to take their time eating the hoop keeps the wind from blowing the pellets away. Inevitably a few pellets end up on top of the hoop. I have one bluegill that has learned this. After the other fish have finished eating, he goes around and jumps and splashes a little water up at a pellet that is on top of the hoop. It takes him a few attempts but eventually he knocks the pellet off and then devours it. He's a persistent little cuss and doesn't give up until every pellet is knocked off the hoop and in his little belly. For the life of me I don't even know how he can see the pellets up on top of the hoop but he seems to know just where every one is.

Amazing how adaptable fish can be isn't it?
Did you know Green Herons have been known to purposely flick twigs and other debris in the water to attract fish?
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

TomF you need to take that show on the road. You literally have your fish jumping through hoops. Cool
In Dog Beers, I've had one.
