Feelers Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jh ... xhome.html I was never a believer in the 3 second memory thing - what good is a memory if if lasts that long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staplez Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 I also saw an episode of myth busters which they tought comets to swim through a basic maze to get to the end for food. They took 4 weeks to teach them to do it. But they also raised two very valid points that I'm sure every one here knows. They respond to people when they can see them, and they know a hand above the water means feeding time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 There is short term memory and long term memory. It's not just "Memory" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarmina Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 i taught a goldfish to go to a specific part of the tank if it wanted food by only feeding it in that area. didn't take long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cath Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Anyone with a tank of fish must surely be able to see different personalities emerge, playful behaviour, and recognition of owner/feeder. This is why it is so imporatnt to provide as large a tank as possible with lots of natural plants and/or rocks and caves. It really gets up my nose when people think OTHER animals have inferior inteligence. NOT SO! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
