Although I've heard that goldfish have a memory of about 3 seconds....
That's complete bullsh*t by the way. Goldfish can learn tricks/the place of the food/such as pretty well. The three second memory stuff is just an urban legend that people invented to not feel so bad for the goldfish in small empty bowls at their homes.
And yes, I've watched Mythbusters.
EDIT: I should always read other people's responds before opening my own mouth....

There was a study done a while ago that showed most fish actaully do have quite a long memory, they can be trained to do something (like swim down a pipe after a bell sounds) and they will still do it months after not having done it. I don't think a gold fish's memory is too long but I think it is a lot longer than 3 seconds.
