The myth was always about goldfish specifically, so the comparison to salmon seems disingenuous.

Tool use? Any examples of this, cause that sounds like it would be cool to learn about.

I know there are more, but I just watched a bunch of clown fish grab what appeared to be a coconut shell from rather far away and bring it to their anemone to lay eggs all over it, because I guess they need a hard surface. I was pretty impressed with how they were tossing it, and so cooperative, too.

I can't stand being around fishermen that place their live catches on the bare open floor and watch the fish drown in terror after having their entire weight carried by a piercing and dragged into a new world in which they're immobile while likely burning and drying out at the same time. It makes me check out.

Meanwhile the Japanese have figured out not only how to kill the fish instantly, but also how to destroy the nerve system in order to prevent stress signals from going out of the brain.
