hello and I hope I'm posting this in the right section. I'm new to this. I from Maryland and I have a 49 gallon tank with 3 blue gourami's, One male and 3 females, also have 4 small honey gourami's I believe we ended up with all males, and 2 dwarf. which also are males. Not really sure. Anyway my question is for the past 2 weeks now me and my husband are hearing squeeking noises from the tank. Like a squeek from a dog toy. Which we have no dog or no toys that squeek. So I'm wondering what fish is actually squeeking cause it's def. from the tank. Also if it is one of them are you able to answer why they are squeeking. It's weird to hear fish squeeking.
 
welcome to the forum!
dont know about guaramis but do you have any plecs? they are know to make noises.
also, are you certain its not some piece of mechanics that is hooked up to the tank making the noise? might be a stupid ?, but worth asking i guess.
cheers
 
Hi kidzmilife :)

Welcome to the forum! :hi:

I've never heard gouramis squeek but I've heard that some of them do make noises. Let me move your thread to the Gouramis and Anabantoids section where more gourami keepers will see it. :D
 
sparking gouramis are the only ones i've ever heard make a noise and thats a sort of weird crocking clicking sort of sound but only when breeding -
A couple of my plecs have squeaked and also some corys breeds have squeaked while being transferred from quarentine tank over to main tank in net (when have caught their sharp bits ) (blooming MS head forget names of things) - now i transfer them in jugs

NEVER heard - 3 spot , honey , red robin , opaline , pearl or dwarf gouramis squeaking

Make sure its not your tank uneven - get a spirit level out
what other stock are in the tank ?
 
hahah m not sure bout gouramis but my syno cat jump up n squeak sometimes at night.... only very rarely but its funny :p
 
I thought I was crazy. Driving home from lfs yesterday I heard squeeking almost like soft chirping. Turned everything off in the truck and there it was, coming from the bag sitting beside me. I had just bought 1 honey gourami, 2 sparkling gourami, and a red tail shark. Don't know which of the gourami was making the noise, but yes they do. :hyper:
