And while goldfish were domesticated in China roughly a thousand years ago, they still swim in schools, and thus have some learned social behavior. "The MythBusters TV show taught some goldfish to swim through a maze, noting that their time got better on each successive run. And an interesting response to the AnswerBag Forum describes goldfish memory as 'selective' -- they have a general idea of what happened on a previous occasion, they're just not sure what. We empathize." Why domesticate goldfish? Because they're pretty? Can you eat them? Hm. Posted by Ginger Mayerson
