A Betta Life To Live: Goldfish!!!

abettalifetolive:

Ok so I broke down and got myself a gorgeous little fantail goldy last night. I’ve put him in a tank that will contain the pleco from Guardian’s (RIP T_T) tank once he’s been quarantined long enough, but so far the little dude is lively and eating and super sweet! He’s super pretty, orange with…

 I also have goldfish, they are cute. I have 4 comet goldfish in a pond, because I don’t have the space for a tank big enough at home :) One of them looks like tancho koi, the others are gold, chocolate and spotted. I’m not sure but I think they doubled in size from the time I bought them :3

Fish have good memories and can be quite cunning

Apparently, and hardly supprising for any one who kept fish for some time, the old belief that a fish only has a three second memory is complete balderdash. In fact scientists have discovered that fish actually do have quite a good memory, and can actually be quite smart. They have also been noted to be capable of working in a team, and even acting quite deviously.

One scientists, Dr. Kevin Warburton, who has been engaged in research on the subject for many years, has discounted the whole three second fish memory idea, as “absolute rubbish”.

Dr. Warburton’s research has been focused on the freshwater fish of Australia, and has been taking a look at how Silver Perch actually learn how to handle the varying kinds of prey they come into contact with.

He has also said that the fish seem to exhibit human behavior in some instances. “Some behavioral traits that we think are very human, such as deception, fish have as well,” Dr. Warburton explains,

“Fish can recognize other individuals and modify their own behavior after observing interactions between other individuals. For example Siamese fighting fish will attack other members of the same species more aggressively if they’ve seen them lose contests with other fighters.”
