Catfish Story

[Nik]

OK so I'm a bit of a beginner when it comes to catfish.

I grabbed a Syndontis catfish from a tank where it's skin looked as though it was rotting. (I posted pictures in the members aquarium section last month asking for help on it's condition. You did help and he is improving.)

BUT nobody told me that they speak!!

I moved him from one tank to another as I felt there were to many bottom feeders in that tank competing for food and as I lifted him out of the water he moaned and croaked - like a frog!

You learn something new every day.

I know exactly what you mean!! When I moved my four upside down cats a couple of weeks ago the two smaller ones kept quiet but the two larger ones (about 3-4inches) started squeeling like little girls!!

Funny though, they seem much less shy when I come near the tank now, they always used to bolt for cover!

See! Fish do talk! My grandma doesnt believe me that they talk to me!
