Somehow I just can’t imagine cuddling up with a fish…

This is like that toilet/keyboard germs report… every year now it seems to get dragged up again by someone. This is at least the third time I’ve seen something in the last couple years about goldfish actually having a memory.

What a cool fish! (And owner.) I wish someone would give ME a food treat every time I did something right, though… Maybe I can be a goldfish in my next life.

Adam and Jamie did something like this to test the goldfish memory myth on MythBusters.

I’m pretty sure fish are just as dumb as we think they are. I had one that liked to jump up out of the water. One day he got overexcited and jumped right out of the bowl. I wasn’t home, so he died. Real smart.

I wonder if you can teach him to roll over & play dead

I guess that puts the whole ‘goldfish only have a two second memory’ myth to bed.
