You are wrong.
Goldfish are not dumb. They do not have a three-second memory.
Every feeding time when I had goldfish I tapped the side of the bowl with the container and the fish would come up for food.
And the fish probably seem dumb because of extreme boredom.
They have nothing to do but swim back and forth all day.
Would you want a memory longer than three seconds?

Fish are socially intelligent creatures who do not deserve their reputation as the dim-wits of the animal kingdom, according to a group of leading scientists.
Scientists say fish do not deserve their "dim-witted" reputation Rather than simply being instinct-driven, the group says fish are cunning, manipulative and even cultured.
The three experts from the universities of Edinburgh, St Andrews and Leeds said there had been huge changes in science's understanding of the psychological and mental abilities of fish in the last few years.
Writing in the journal Fish and Fisheries, biologists Calum Brown, Keven Laland and Jens Krause said fish were now seen as highly intelligent creatures.
They said: "Gone (or at least obsolete) is the image of fish as drudging and dim-witted pea-brains, driven largely by 'instinct',' with what little behavioural flexibility they possess being severely hampered by an infamous 'three-second memory'.

hey on Mythbusters they tested goldfish memory. They were able to teach a goldfish to swim through a 4 part maze to find food. maybe they aren't as dumb as we thought!
