Now scientists say that as well as being brain food for us, fish use their brains to find food themselves. Research by Phil Gee, a psychologist from Plymouth University, has shown that fish may not be the dunces of the food chain after all.

According to the findings, the goldfish learned to push the lever when they were hungry.

Indeed, even the shrimp and starfish in my reef aquarium are conditioned. The things that the taxpayers' money get spent on is mindboggling...
