Just curious how the Mythbusters guys went about measuring the memory span of a goldfish?

[Gergwheel1647545492]

they trained them to do a task, and then went back a few hours later, and they were still able to perform said task. it was something like swimming through a maze.

They took a about 10 gold fish and put them in a tank. They set up an obstical course for the fish and trained them with food to get through it. Basically they put tank dividers in with holes in different areas on the divider and then used food to train them to go through it to get more food. They had so many days to do this. At the end of the time, they would put food at the end of the tank and the fish would swim through the obstical course to the food. Not all of them would make it, but I think about 1/3 would make it to the end. Now was that the best way to test this, no, it could be put up there was just adapting to be able to find food. But still was interesting. Oh yeah this was a contest between the 2 hosts and the one with the mustache won.
