primabella if u've ever owned goldfish for a period of time, you would learn that Goldfish aren't stupid, but they aren't smart either. They do have a pretty good memory for such a tiny brain.

Think of it this way. If a goldfish is scared of you when u first get him ^ then a few days later he's ok & then when u approach the tank he doesn't hid & then when u lift up the container of food, hes darts to the top of the water & starts mouthing the top of the water waiting for his meal.

See they have memory

I've have hundreds & hundreds of goldfish & all of them were like that.
