I say we take a poll, what is the smartest fish including any fish that is a "monster" fresh or salt, and has to be kept somewhere in captivity. Also which monster is the least intelligent?

I'll start off, i think oscars are cool, but one of the dumbest monsters. I dont have a vote yet for the smartest...

Wow...oscars are not stupid at all, they can recognize their owners easily and take food from the hand.

I think this thread is pointless, all fish are smart and cool in their own ways.
 
The smartest fish in the world is unquestionably my RTC Lucy. She knows how to ask for treats and even how to say no...

Stupidest fish...Hmmmmmm I'll have to go with the Tuna. Anyone want a bite of my sandwich?
 
I don't get why we have to determine who is the smartest and who is the stupidiest. Besides, there are thousands of species that exist around the world and making a hypothesis on one species is not enough. No validity anyway.;)
 
Great Whites are extrmely smart. I was watching a show on them last night and some of the things they showed were just amazing. They actually poke their heads out of the water to see what's going on!!!

I think any fish that can figure out how to get out of its tank when it has a sealed top is smart, but stupid at the same time.
