yes and no. It was proven through experiments on carp.
they had to get the reward of food using memory and after three seconds, had to be retrained. http://amos.indiana.edu/library/scripts/fishmemory.html
But, really, the short term memory loss has been blamed on PCB s in the environment. Gold fish can be trained to remember for days, but they still can't do the Fish Game! Can you?

I doubt it. I have a goldfish who knows exactly when it is time to be fed (7:00 AM) and if I don't feed him soon, he picks up gravel in his mouth and spits it at the glass to get my attention. Daily ritual and he doesn't do it any other time of the day.

What was the Question?
Yes I remember. Do I know you? no they can remember things like where the food comes from everday.They all call each other BOB so that they don't have to worry about remember each others name. Now what did you want to know?

So they say, but often wonder if that is just propaganda started by the pet shops to make us feel less guilty about keeping them in a tank for their eternity.
