I am not sure if I was hearing things but this morning when my skunks were out and about with the morning feeding I though I heard them making a clicking sound. Could this be? Talking fish??

Actually quite a few fish make noises. The only ones that I have experience of are Dwarf botias but most loaches (I believe) clicks, especially during feeding.




So here I am once more...

Even the Pakistani Loaches (Yoyo's) make noises when eating.

Yep, it's normal for loaches. They usually make the sound either when they're feeding, or when they are in an excited and aggressive state, such as when fighting with other loaches.

Yup, normal for loaches to click, though my clowns are so loud, that I cannot hear any of the others. :%)
