Were you ever told that you have the memory of a goldfish for being forgetful?

"Over the years scientists have done numerous tests to discover the truth and turned up some pretty staggering results," according to the video.
"In one set of studies, scientists added a lever into the fish tank, which when pressed would dispense food. Once the fish knew to press the lever, they made adjustments such as only having it active at a certain time of day, or when a light on the lever was illuminated.
"To the scientists' surprise, the goldfish actually recognized these changes and learned exactly what to do."
In addition, people have successfully taught goldfish to weave through poles, navigate mazes and even play basketball.
