MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Is it true that goldfish have no memory?

There is a common myth about goldfish that their memory is only a span of about three seconds. If you’ve seen Finding Nemo or Finding Dory you’re very familiar with his theory. But this is not exactly true according to some scientists.

It was been proven that a goldfish’s memory is nowhere near as short as three seconds. While it may be true for some, most goldfish can actually remember things for at least five months! Which feels like a lifetime when it comes to goldfish.
