Ok, about them goldfishes... After giving it a long hard thought I concluded to myself that it cannot only be instinct (the smell of food) cause then they wouldn't do it faster and faster would they? They clearly must have remeberd the "signs".
I have to clear up the confusion and the false accusations about goldfishes suffering from a very shallow memory - being stupid even... It's not true. I base this on an episode of "Mythbusters" that I watched where they trained the goldfish to go through a labyrinth in order to get their food. Which the Goldfishes successfully learned how to do, and this faster and faster for each time.
Besides everybody knows that all things shown on TV is true anyway!
