That's a pretty cool video i am well aware that cichlids are smart but I've never seen them entertain them selves.

I used to have a Niger Trigger that I would feed krill to by hand and if he saw my hands near the surface without a krill he would spit water at me.

I trained my Oscar to watch football with me, or he may be hungry, and my jag to attack his digital thermometer sensor. or she just likes to attack shiny things. I do not advocate imprinting on your fish to jump.

I agree but so would many other people getting a fish to jump isn't showing your training skills or showing their intelligence, it just means they're really hungry and will even jump out of their comfort zone for food. Not impressive by any means i think.

Well i see what you are saying but if you keep repeating the process of getting them to jump they will not be out of their comfort zone because they are used to it.
