Now how do they know that? Did the government spend a couple million to fund a study? Did scientists sit around an aquarium tapping on the side for goldfish attention? And how could they test "memory" -- did they teach little goldfish history lessons and then give a pop quiz? The mind boggles...
i had a goldfish that swam over to the corner of the tank expecting to be fed whenever i came into the room, . was that memory or simple reaction? btw, the fish ate a lightening bug and died. that taught him a thing or two. he won't do that again. is that memory?
