Smart Fish

This is to prove that I am not crazy and that my goldfish really does know who I am. :-)
You often hear it said that goldfish only have 3 second memories but I knew it was a load of rubbish.

Scientific studies done on the matter of memory have shown that goldfish have strong associative learning abilities, as well as social learning skills. In addition, their strong visual acuity allows them to distinguish between different humans. Over time, goldfish should learn to associate their owners and other humans with food, often "begging" for food whenever their owners approach.
