What is the memory of a goldfish?
Despite the popular myth regarding a goldfish's memory, they are actually quite intelligent little creatures and have reasonable memories.For example, my goldfish remember that when I open the draw below the tank I am going to feed them. They also go straight to where I normally put the food. Whether this is simple environmental conditioning is arguable, however, it does show that in this one area at least they can remember things over periods of days.Do not believe the rubbish about goldfish having short memories. They are like most creatures, they learn things by experience and training and remember them for their lifetimes. If they did not they would not survive.
Can you mix goldfish or stick to one type?

Memory of a goldfish?
The thought that goldfish only have a memory of three seconds is false. Studies show that a goldfish has a memory of a few months. Goldfish have been taught to go through mazes or do tricks. The simplest way to prove that a goldfish has a memory longer than three seconds is to observe what they do right before they are fed. They tend to congregate at the surface near the human that feeds them. Goldfish clearly remember (have a memory) that seeing a human often leads to being fed. myth busted
How many year did goldfish live?
The lifespan of a goldfish is determined by the care and maintenance of the goldfish and goldfish's home , whether or not it is getting essential nutrients and is fed a proper diet, and if the genetics of the goldfish are good. Also a factor that can determine the lifespan of a goldfish is whether the goldfish's owner did much needed research about the goldfish before purchasing one - or if they choose to remain ignorant about goldfish and their needs. If a goldfish is taken good care of through-out its life- and is not constantly, if not ever, subjected to stressful situations- other than the time it is acquired and introduced to its home (remember to always quarantine for at least 30 days before doing this) you can expect the fish to live up to +20 years- maybe even longer.
Do black moors have a good memory?
All fish have a memory commensurate with their need to survive. They will remember hiding places in their environment, they will remember the place where they are fed and the person doing the feeding. They will also remember what a net is and does and will learn to hide if they see one comming. There is now scientific evidence that goldfish (Black Moors are a kind of goldfish) have good memories and learn quickly under laboratory conditions.
