Listening to Fish

[jimroth]

An article in today's New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/08/science/08fish.html?_r=1&oref=sloginmade me think about installing a microphone in my tank to listen to some tang talk. Has anyone ever played with a hydrophone and their reef?
If you go to the article on the web, you can hear the sounds clownfish make. Who knew?

Most fish can make sounds i believe. There is one fish that can do like a drum sound.

Clownfish snap thier jaws repeatadly. Late at night i can hear my female snapping at the male.

Im gonna see if i find an underwater Mic. Ill let you know.

Never heard that fish make sound, where did you get the equipment and how do you go about doing it?

Seems we have more in common with our fish than we first realized.
