yes, this is Daryk Campbell Sr.   I dont usually post links, but this was interesting. Researchers  have trained goldfish to "drive" for pellets.  It is a Facebook link, if someone smarter than me can post a link for non Facebook users I would be grateful.

Not surprising, since bass quickly learn to seek out rocks and crevices to find crawdads.  And trout quickly learn the best places to intercept drifting insects. 

Even flys and ants have no trouble finding a picnic.

Just wave your hand in a throwing motion at a hatchery and watch the reaction.   At the ones with pellet machines for people to use.

But you wave a rod at them in the stream and they spook.

Another story about it. 

I dont know how to find it on thedodo.com their search engine is not great.  I put the title in exactly as written and it brings up completely different stories.

Thanks @Daryk Campbell Sr. Pretty interesting story. I'm not sure that We want to start seeing fish driven vehicles on the highways.  May be a new competition for Norm🤣

The more I think about it,  it reminds me of a magic trick.   The fish is still acting as it should.   It is swimming.   The trick is the vehicle is created to respond to the fish.  The fish would swim from place to place in its normal setting.   It still is.
