	Fish that make noise or Dwarf Croaking Gourami
joshovis Fingerling Posts: 23 Kudos: 26 Votes: 0 Registered: 15-Nov-2004	I have a 30 gallon with 4 (blue) gourami's and a Pleco (that will move to a 55 when he's big enough). I have been looking for a other fish to put in there. I came across the Croaking Gourami, and read how it makes noise durring spawning. Has anyone had experience with a fish making noise, and what you thought of it. Anyone add frogs for the sounds they make? Is it hard to find a Dwarf Croaking Gourami I would love to add 4 to my tank. Thanks for your info, JH

They don't do it very often, so don't expect them to be ribbitting away like frogs. You'd be lucky to hear it once. Clown Loaches make a very loud clicking sound when they're happy and content or excited. Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.

They seem to just make it when they are confronting one another. I'd describe it as more of a 'click' than a croak - it doesn't sound like a frog - it sounds similar to those clicking noises dolphins use to talk to one another. They'll do a little run of about six clicks in one burst, and their little circling bouts last a couple of minutes. They certainly add another 'depth' to the tank.
