    I know how to train them to swim through hoops, dont think it will win but maybe useful to use with other tricks.

    You buy tank dividers (bits of glass/plastic that section of the tank) Cut a whole in big enough to fit your fish through confortably. Line the whole with coloured tape also stops rough edges. Put food in the other side of the tank. Your fish will learn where the whole is on his own...take the tank divider out put in a hoop, I think you can use anything for this maybe a mesh tea strainer (remove mesh) line it with the same tape, fish should naturally swim through as they think the dividers stil there :)

    Maybe teach it to swim a certain route, or to do turns in the water? You could use fish food and make it follow it or something. But aren't fish hard to train? You could buy some props for your fish to use, you know you can buy those cave thing for you fish tank? I dunno, but good luck :]
