Of course they do.

They have good memories of it too.

Doug it's the same system that let's them find their way home. If they didn't have it, know it, remember it, and recognize it - they would all be wandering around lost. They wouldn't know or remember what to eat or not eat either. It's the same reason some sponges, algae, things like that have toxins or are just bitter.
Malcomb will try anything he sees me eat first.

It's the same thing our nerves do.

But what is pain?

It's something that hurts right then and sometimes longer. It the memory of that that changes our actions.

I think the only real difference is our ability to dwell on it and let it traumatize us.

Exactly! LOL that's why it works so well on other fish too.
