I'm pretty sure all fish have a memory of about 10-30 seconds. They aren't really that bright.
Not quite. They only have a memory span for three seconds. Then they forget everything all over. I am not an expert but I heard it on tv, you should google it.
it is until they have sex then they forget everything.
The goldfish It is said a goldfish only has a memory span of just a few seconds
While most people believe that the attention span of a goldfish is a few seconds this has been proven wrong. A study done by the School of Psychology at the University or Plymouth in 2003 proved that the attention span of a gold fish is three months.EDIT: The attention span and memory span is two different things! The memory span has been proven not to be 3 sec, but up to 3 months. The attention span however for a fish is very short as they tend to get bored easy.Most bielieve 2 or 3 seconds but it is proven that it is 3 months or soLook Up comet the gold fishProves it is smart
Hmm. Does fish go into that category?I was thinking about a goldfish.It would most likely depend on individual differences.Even I have a short attention span when dealing with things that do not interest me in the slightest.On the Lighter SideI'm sorry, what was your question?

Gold fish?
goldfish do have longer than a 3 second memory
Goldfish can only remember the past five seconds of their life.

I know as a fact (from a book) that a goldfish only has a three-second memory. So I never expect my goldfish to recognize me as their owner! =) Despite popular opinion that goldfish have no memory it has been show in many studies they do have long term memories. It is generally accepted be around two week but some studies have shown it to be up to 11 months.
