Kalvin Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I wonder, Goldfish actually have pure, long-time memory. I know this because 2 years ago a owner of a Goldfish teached it to play Football, in it's fish bowl. (It pushes the ball into the net) and it did it everytime the owner said "Football", Also my old Goldfish (sadly died by falling out it's bowl..) kept weeping out it's bowl in the morning for me to feed it. So, why do people think that Goldfish have a memory of 10 seconds? Discuss. Shine o' Vice | Vice City BETA Edition | Grand Theft Auto 3D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertical limit Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Why makes you think they don't? One goldfish does not represent the whole species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalvin Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 2*, well 3 actually. I had another one who did the same thing.. Anyway, the reason i also posted this topic, and why i wonder. Is because why did people even start the "Goldfish has a short-memory" and the saying "You got the memory of a Goldfish!"

SaintJimmy Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I'm nearly positive 100% of goldfish swim to the top of the tank when they're hungry. In the mornings. And haven't like various experiments proven the memory of a goldfish can span up to months at a time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn 7 five 11 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Oh sure, being able to remember something that is repeated over and over and over for a few months is a real achievement, these goldfish have fantastic memory. Come on man, find something better to discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OH NO Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Who cares .They swim around in circles all day. Theyre obviously f*ckin idiots. which actually answers your question. Also my old Goldfish (sadly died by falling out it's bowl..) you killed him didnt you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalvin Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 Nope, it went out the bowl for me to feed him food, and because of the fall he died, it is a big height for a goldfish to drop. Also, the guy who teached the Goldfish only took 2 weeks for him. Anyway i made this topic out of spite because i was bored. And i was wondering.

Kalvin Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 I can't remember, i'm so tired. I woke up at 5:00am yesterday and now it's 5:00am the next morning. I ain't slept yet Shine o' Vice | Vice City BETA Edition | Grand Theft Auto 3D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalvin Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) I can't, i have a sleep problem. Once i couldn't sleep for 4 days, i do exercise during the day, i play a game, i do homework, i play with my dog, i eat food. and by end of the day i'm not tired out or exhausted at all. Icarus: Yeah, again i'm tired. But i can't get to sleep, i'll probably remember how to say words and spell them when i actually fall to sleep and wake back up. OH NO: It's like, the size of a Bunkbed, that kind of height. Hitting a tiled floor. As i'm tired, and i made this topic because i'm bored, if you don't like this topic. You can just lock it and move on Edited May 1, 2012 by ManDog Shine o' Vice | Vice City BETA Edition | Grand Theft Auto 3D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staying awake on the internet doesn't help at all. Just like those people on FaceBook posting 'Can't sleep', well get off facebook you moron. Read in bed until you feel tired and try sleep, if it fails try read some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sup3rman Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Well goldfish indeed have long term memory, even mythbusters proved that. Ofcourse, Adam's goldfish started eating their own poo by the end but Jamies were sucessful in crossing the maze and getting the food. And they were taught.

AlexGTAGamer Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 If this is the case then, I hope Goldie and all the rest of the Goldfish that I've ever had that I thought had died (chances are some of them weren't dead after all) and flushed down the toilet aren't still holding grudges against me now that they are horribly mutated in the sewers of Bristol, or in the Severn Estuary.

OH NO Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 If youre gonna drop goldfish off bunkbeds with no regard for anyone, then youre obviously in need of some sort of medical kelp. I recommend you make an appointment with your fishician immediately. just in case theres salmon wrong with you And, if it is true that Goldfish have long term memories, then their lives as pets must be an absolutely miserable existence. Swim round in circles all day, and now and again eat food that looks like an eczemas sufferers skin. No wonder he tried to commit suicide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalvin Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 I fed him every morning, and the reason he fell from the height of a bunkbed is because he's in my kitchen on a table, but there's stairs leading to a higher platform, so you're in the height of the middle of the house, and to the right is a lil' fence, and a big drop to a concrete floor leading to a door what goes into my backyard. That's why he fell a height of a bunkbed. Shine o' Vice | Vice City BETA Edition | Grand Theft Auto 3D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Also my old Goldfish (sadly died by falling out it's bowl..) you killed him didnt you Oh course he killed him. He's talking about long term memory of the goldfish. Clearly his earlier conviction was that goldfish have short memory. My guess is, he did something in front of the fish that could incriminate him. Maybe he f*cked his cousin in front of the fish or something like that. Upon learning that his fish has a better memory than he previously thought, he decided to get rid of the potential witness. I mean, if a goldfish can have a good long term memory, maybe it can suddenly develop speech as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalvin Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 These are lame lies, i've had 2 goldfish, but one died 2 days after i got him, he just dropped dead for some reason.. and i only fed my goldfish the same fish food everyday, i sprinkle 2 times then look at it eat, then i go away, then i return back later to see if i can teach him something, then i go away, see him the next day, do the same. Anyway, i've always thought Goldfish have had long-time memory since 2 years ago when i saw that video on the news about a guy teaching his goldfish to play football everytime he said "Football" Shine o' Vice | Vice City BETA Edition | Grand Theft Auto 3D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirsty Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I don't think you should have goldfish anymore, isn't their lifespan supposed to be 40 years? I had a goldfish that I moved into my grandmother's pond because I didn't want to look after it anymore, it's now 10. I'd say try a hamster, but maybe that's not a good idea if you're already having sleeping problems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
