How long is a goldfish memory?

The idea that goldfish have a three-second memory is a myth!

While their memory isn't as long as a human's, goldfish can remember things for months, and possibly even years.

Research has shown that they can:

* Recognize their owners: Goldfish have been shown to recognize their owners and respond to their presence.

* Learn mazes: They can be trained to navigate simple mazes and remember the correct route.

* Remember feeding times: They can learn to associate specific times with feeding and anticipate when their next meal is coming.

So, while they might not remember everything, goldfish have a surprisingly good memory for a small fish!
