A lot of books say 3 seconds, but the truth is...
A goldfish's memory is 11 months long.That is the human equivalent to remembering something for over 40 years. Also, goldfish have been trained to swim through mazes.Look Up comet the gold fish
Proves it is smart
All Goldfish make great pets provided you give them good water and food. Remember the basic rule of '1 inch of fish needs 1 gallon of water' then remember that your goldfish will grow to at least 12 inches long given good conditions.
going on experience, goldfish don't have memories but do have instincts. my goldfish knows that the yellow pot means food, yet it doesn not remember any other things that happen, it always freaks out when anything goes into the water, even if it is a feeder. so goldfish do not have memories, they have instincts.
Goldfish do not have vocal chords and as such, this is not something that they can learn
The long strand that is coming from your goldfish is poop.
Not by itself, no. Though if you're talking about a goldfish or other being with a short memory span then it may be ironic!
Not happily or healthily. Those goldfish need at least 30 gallons of space to live happily and have a long life. If you do successfully breed your fish, remember to remove the babies ASAP. Goldfish like to eat their babies.
It is important to remember to put things in a goldfish tank, even goldfish get bored. Some of my suggestions for tank decor are artificial plants and a "hidey hole" for your goldfish.
If it is a small goldfish, it will physically fit in something that small. But, it will not live very long in it. If you wish to keep goldfish alive, you need at least ten gallons of water for each goldfish along with a good filter and a heater to keep the water temperature stable. With proper care goldfish can easily live 15+ years.
This means that you cant remember things. As goldfish can not retain anything fo more then 3 seconds
Contrary to the myth that goldfish have a 3-second memory, research suggests that goldfish can actually remember things for months. They have a memory span of about three to five months and can be trained to recognize different signals and cues.
well, not long. i had a goldfish and it died in like 8 hours.
i don't think that it is to long
