"Fish memory is actually good" sounds like you're talking about fish in general.
"Fish's memory" sounds like you're talking about a person named Fish.

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Portuguese (Brazil)
@jimpjorps I want to say that the memory of the fish is good. So in that case grammatically speaking I have to say "Fish memory"? Is 's only meant for people?
- English (US)
I think you'd more often see "the memory of the fish" or "the fish's memory". "Fish's memory" without the definite article sounds like a name.
