NOT true...MYTHBUSTERS, on Discovery Channel, has proved the 3 second memory thing wrong....They actually averaged out the memory, from their tests, to be a little more than 45 seconds with goldfish....Goldfish, being the "basic" of all fish, has made me wonder the "intelligence" of greater fish such as cichlids....

You didnt train it to come up for food, it's natural instinct to look for food made it come to the top.

Saying that fish have 3 second memories was probably made up by the same folks who keep Pacu, RTC and an Aligator gar in a 10G.

Fish make very intelligant fish but rather stupid humans.... They know and learn...only what they need to survive.
