"I will train them by not giving them food. By doing so, the fish will realize 'Oh man, this guy is killing me, so I don't have to kill myself.' Then, every few days or so, I'll give them just tiny little food. The fish will be like 'Oh man, I'm starving. I want to eat that.' Eventually he/she will eat it and survive."
Sean Nam, senior, Colonial Forge
