Remember the Goldfish Memory thing? People often refer that as lousy memory because they thought that goldfish only have 3secs of memory. However, I came across an article: “Goldfish three-second memory myth busted”.
In this article, it stated that 15-year-old schoolboy from Adelaide conducted a simple experiment, which proves that the goldfish is much smarter than we think.
What he did to test this:
1) Sprinkle food around a red lego brick, repeating this everyday.
2) Leave the fish alone for a week.
3) Place the red brick back again.
The results show that the goldfish not only able to retain information, they also had the ability to recall it at a later date.
Another experiment was to teach the fish an escape route. In fact even after one year, you can test them and they will still remember the exact same spot. It is quite an achievement because: their brain = 380,000 times < a newborn human baby’s.
This again reminds us that its cruel to keep animals as pets. They have brains and their own feelings… and WX.. u killed that spider lol.
