You may have heard the myth that goldfish have an attention span of 3 seconds. Researchers and even the MythBusters have proved that to be wrong. Golfish have been shown to have a memory that can last at least 3 months.

And now you can use that knowledge to teach your goldfish some tricks. The R2 Fish Training School Kit from ThinkGeek allows you to train your little pet to perform 10 different tricks. Tricks include teaching it to score a goal in soccer, zig zag in between poles(like in dog competitions), shoot a basketball and play fetch.

The kit comes with an instructional DVD. You can buy it for $40.
