Roquen Hobbyist Posts: 141 Kudos: 82 Votes: 0 Registered: 23-Feb-2004	i have an interesting one for this. a nightclub i regularly go to has a huge tall (like 2 metre tall, 2 metre long) tank "in" the wall next to the main dancefloor, with some discus in it, large ones. they seem fine, i guess its very very thick glass lol

As you said, they just jump when you switch the volume on. http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

Thank you Oh and something else...is it possible for them to have like a heart attack or die from shock from the loud music? I remember years ago I had an albino pleco...in a 10 gallon tank...with goldfish...before I knew anything about fish keeping of course and he was doing fine, turned on some music a lil loud and looked over and he was dead.

Sound travels better, and further thru water. Vibrations (such as tapping on the glass) will stress fish. Stress can cause death. I'd mistakenly left a betta next to the speakers while I was reviewing a program...stress lead to death. ^_^
