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
