Cool. Squeaky fish would be fun. Have you ever kept botia loaches? They click at each other when they're excited about something.

No, familiar with that species. Will google. Sounds fascinating

They're a genus; there are several different species. Zebra, yoyo, and dwarf chain loaches are probably the most popular. They all like to talk to each other. A big school of zebra loaches sound like popcorn popping. For the longest time I thought something was wrong with my filter.
