myth or facts about feeding goldfish2007-11-24 23:38:48

im 14 n i live lve in malaysia..my friends said that goldfish only have 2 minutes memory,so if i feed them for 5 minutes,it would forget that it already ate n bust it stomach!is this a fact??dont they have stimulus to tell them are full like us??

Answers:

yes, they do have a short memory span, but just because they can't remember the've been fed doesn't mean they have to be fed again. once a day is quite enough.

its not about memory.its about fish being stupid and small brained- yes they will eat themselves to death though

Goldfish are like pigs, they nibble things all the time. Feed them once is enough for the day. It has nothing to do with their memories!

---

false but fish will eat almost evertime u put food in there bowl and if u over feed them they will dies so just stick to one feeding a day

---

yes fish will eat all the food you put in there to the point they eat so much they die..this is the truth..i think they do not realise or our not smart enough not to eat to much food..i have had some fish that ate other fish..i give up and just settle for a aquarium screensaver..

They will definitely eat themselves to death, but it's OK to let them go 2 or 3 days without food.

it's a 3 second memory

I don't know about the statistical studies. My mother had fish who remembered all sorts of thing. Especially about feeding time! She would always tap on the top of the water and they would rise to the surface. One day, my cat decided to drink out of the fish bowl (no, not to catch the fish but just because it was convenient). The fish did as they were conditioned to do - They rose to the surface for feeding - And bit the cat's tongue!
