How Long Is A Typical Fishes Memory?

[deftuch]

MOST PEOPLE THINK A FISHES MEMORY IS ABOUT 3 SECONDS TO A WEEK. IM NOT SURE IF IM HONEST. BUT THE FISH SEEM TO REMEBER THAT WHEN I OPEN THE LID ITS FEEDING TIME. AS THEY ALL COME TO THE TOP AND START FENDING EACH OTHER OFF BEFORE IVE PUT THE FOOD IN. LOL

 

[StandbySetting]

A life time. the few second thing is rubbish.

 

[Fishy friend2]

Yeah, my fish all come to the top at a certain time every day, because they know that I'm about to feed them

 

[KrazyKuhli]

They are quick learners too within 2 days my angels and neons recognise my face and come to the front to say hi, and when I open the lid they know its feeding time

 

[Keeper Of Cichlids]

My oscar knows when its feeding time, every morning when I walk past the tank he paces up and down begging for food.
He hand feeds from me.
All of my fish know when its feeding time, they even recognize my face.

 

[Fishy friend2]

Does he bite you? Lol. I've heard of it happening before

 

[Keeper Of Cichlids]

I've been bit many times, especially when I don't feed him and I put my hand in the tank to do something.

 

[Fishy friend2]

Lol! Does it hurt

 

[Keeper Of Cichlids]

Yes. Lol, especially when he manages to catch my whole finger in his mouth and chomps down on it, I was just lucky he ain't an adult yet.
He must of though it was a worm.

 

[Fishy friend2]

Gosh, and I think that my Betta bites down hard. Lol

 

[scotty]

what was the question again??

 

[smudge_]

I think the feeding "memory" wtc. is instinct rather than proper memory

 

[Keeper Of Cichlids]

So how do you explain - when I put my hand in the tank, my oscar brushes pass my hand like a cat, my sister tried it, she got bit?

 

[swanseastilo]

they could smell fish on her fingers??
