Talking Emporator Angelfish....really!

[Carpentersreef]

Seriously....

I'm standing in front of my tank, and all the fish are kind of swarming around where I am, and I hear this noise, something like a stick being run along one of those instruments with a series of grooves cut in it.....

At first I thought that I stepped on something, but then it happened a second and third time, and I realized that it was my Emperator Angelfish chasing away one of my Foxfaces' from the feeding area!
He must have been generating the sounds from his throat.

Cool... 8)

....Just thought I'd share.

That is pretty cool, I talk to my fish all the time and they refuse to answer.

Is there a way to attach sound bytes to our posts so we can hear?
