I guess that would depend on your definition of smart. :) Studies have shown that goldfish and can retain information for up to 3 months (not 30 seconds). Other studies have detailed how goldfish are able to use visual landmarks and cues to navigate mazes, and even remember how to get through those mazes two weeks later. Researchers even reversed, removed and altered the visual cues, with little impact to the fish's performance. There's ample evidence that goldfish are capable of learning tasks and finding multiple ways to achieve one goal. The studies are interesting. :)
