DIY Dangling Fish Bell

Teach your fish to communicate with you! Gather several sleigh bells, thread them onto a string and knot them together in a cluster at the end of the string. Hold the cluster of bells in your tank at feeding time and wait for one of your fish to touch the bells before feeding them if possible. Repeat this several times, raising the bells higher and higher each time until they are out of the water. Tie the string above your tank so that the bells permanently hang just above the water line. Listen carefully for sound of the bells and reward your fish with a treat or attention when it rings the bells. Consider placing a baby monitor near the tank so you can hear the bells from farther away. Determine the ideal amount of daily food for your fish so that you don’t overfeed them and watch closely during training to look for any rust on the bells.
