Do Sparkling Gouramis Chirp?

[Crossfire]

I know that they can "croak", but i keep hearing this loud, chirping, whistling sort of sound emminating from my tank! At first i thought it was my bubbler, but its not as it still persists if its turned off. So i was wondering, can Sparkling gourami chirp? Because if they can, its the cutest noise ever from a fish
If it helps, it sounds kinda like "pew pew pew peeeeeeew"

Yes I have always described it as more of a chirp then a croak as its pretty high pitched. There is a link in my sig to a video that has the sound.

They actually sound just like the frogs we have around here in the springtime. Very cool.

I would absolutely do it! My croaking Gouramis (although slightly different) are the pride and joy of my tank. The croaking ones chirp and make a clicking sound. At first I thought it was my filter breaking...nope! Just these crazy little beauties!

I have two sparkling gouramis, but they've never done this...doesn't that mean they aren't happy or don't feel secure?

Mikaila how big do they get ? Will they only chirp if you have males and females ? And do they chirp at night time too ? (Tank in bedroom, lol)

Sparkling Gouramis' chirp is incredibly hard to hear. Also, only males chirp if you have sparkling Gouramis that sri around 1.5inches, then you, my dear, have croaking Gouramis! For the longest time I thought I owned sparkling....turns out I has croaking all along! I also never heard any chirping until I bought my second set of croaking Gouramis, and I bought my first male! The croaking gourami makes a very distinguishable clicking sound. Also, it's typically made when they're trying to attract a mate. Fear not, I'm sure your little fellas are very happy in their home
