If the testing harms the said animal, then yeah, animal testing is wrong.

But if the said animal is something like a cockroach, on which harm is usually inflicted upon without guilt, then maybe that kind of testing is also ok.

I'm fine with testing being done on cockroaches. Even goldfish, because they have a memory of only 6 seconds and they'll forget the pain.

Goldfish have memories that last at the very least days, not seconds. They almost certainly can remember things for months/years, but that has not been proved AFAIK.
