Goldfish actually have a memory that can last for months, or even years. They can learn complex tasks and remember them over time.
Here's what we know:
* Studies have shown goldfish can remember things for up to 5 months. This includes things like finding food in a specific location.
* Their memory is influenced by their environment and experiences. Like all animals, they can learn and remember things they encounter regularly.
* Their brains are more complex than many people realize. They have the capacity for learning and remembering, even though their brains are smaller than ours.
So next time someone tells you goldfish have a 3-second memory, you can set them straight!
