It's a myth that goldfish have a memory of only three minutes.

The experiment was done where they got some goldfish in a tank and then they ran a net through the tank, confining them to one end and the goldfish are going, freak, freak, freak, I'm being squashed.

And there was a little hole in the middle of the net...

And eventually the goldfish would find, oh, there's a hole.

I got out.

Hooray, hooray.

And then roughly one half of the lifetime of a goldfish later, I think it was 12 or 18 months later, they did the same experiment.

And this time the goldfish said, oh, that net again.

Okay.

It went straight for the middle.

So they can remember stuff.

It is a myth that they can't remember stuff and they love you to pieces.

You're a very lucky person to have extra love from goldfish.

Sorry, what are they?

Guppies.

Guppy fish.

Guppies.

Hang on, it was... Oh, and you've got these people.

I've been looking at some of them and they say things like, hey, look at me, aren't I fantastic?

Oh, by the way, here's somebody who was mean to me so I deliberately ran them over and here's a video of me running them over.
