They have a 30 second memory but do start to do things out of habit. If you used to feed them whenever you come home or just whenever you would see them, then that's why the go to the top all crazy like. They expexct to be fed.

Sorry bud. Goldfish are about as low on the "smarts" totem pole as animals go. They do know that when certain things happen they get fed, though, so they might recognize your presence as meaning "food time!". It's about as much love as you're going to get from a goldfish, so enjoy it!

actually goldfish are not very smart at all; what they're doing is they're conditioned by u; that is they associate you with food. This is the most basic form of learning and even invertebrate such as bees and spiders can do this. Their brain is too small for them to have much mental power. However u don't keep goldfish around for their mental prowness that's what computers and people are for.

If they are swimming to the top, it means they're hungry (which has nothing to do with being smart). Ask yourself the same question.
(I think the goldfish is smarter than you.)

sorry to say, they don't remember you. They can only remember things for 3 sec. This is also why they always act hungry. They don't remember even in they are 5 sec ago.
