No, goldfish actually have a 5 month memory span. Scientists trained gold fish respond to a certain sound. After being in the wild for months they still responded. Goldfish are known to recognize their owners, and even have favoritism over one owner or the other. They can be tamed ,too. Sometimes they even stop thinking the owner is a threat. While they are calm around their masters, they are scared around strangers.- John Baskin
