Do fish have a very short memory?

Dory suffers from short-term memory loss

You all are so lucky... my fish are so dumb.

1) Everytime I go to the tank and they come rushing up... gah they forget I just fed them not 20 min ago!!!
2) my ma's goldfish taste test their poo as it falls to the floor 6-7 times... they never remember that it is a poo.

Short term indeed.

What was the question?

My betta's got a great memory. I think most hunters have to remember where their food is. Most prey have to remember where the hunters are

Now THAT'S a powerful argument! My fish do the same thing: "Hey, bloodworm! Nope, turd. Hey, bloodworm! Nope, turd. Hey, bloodworm! Nope, turd." Over and over and over.

THAT is something you'll never see a betta do .I've noticed my fronts don't do it either I'm immediately turned off by a fish when I see it suck in and chew a huge turd
