The Fish Remember
Not only are koi fish beautiful creatures, but they’re also very intelligent. There’s the common stereotype that fish have short attention spans and forget things quickly, but that’s not always true. Koi can live to be up to 35 years old, and they have very good memories. This fish owner may think that he’s trained his fish to know when it’s feeding time, but they might be the ones who have trained him!
About 10 years ago, he started banging the food container as he walked up to the pond. The fish learned that this means it’s mealtime, so they all gather in their usual spot. This fish owner even started opening the lid in a certain way to make a loud noise because he loves how wild with anticipation they get. It’s super cool that the fish are about 28 years old and have really gotten into this routine.
