This is a conception that is comprehensively untrue. When I buy new fish (Ryukins and Demekins - species of goldfish) it takes them time to adapt to new feeding methods. I feed them brine shrimp (which is suspended in the water) and sinking pellets (which fall to bottom). When I introduce a new fish, it's immediately clear from their feeding behaviour what they've been previously accustomed to receiving. Over time, fish which for instance have no competency feeding on suspended food will learn to become more successful. Likewise, fish who are accustomed to suspended or surface-borne foods will take time to learn to fossick the substrate properly.
Clearly the fish exhibit learning behaviour, as their feeding behaviour becomes more proficcient over time.

yeah, proved on Mythbusters, goldfish do have a memory and can be trained, they taught the goldfish to relate food with bright colors and trained them to get through a maze to get their food.
|
I don't think they have a conscious 'memory' of explicit events, rahter they can simply be trained in a stimulus-response style to react instinctively to certain environmental cues.
But yes, they learn.
