Fish & Music.

[Fastblur]

I've just gotten around to buying a new sound sytem with which to rattle my neighbours teacups, I was just thinking about placing it, and my fish tank is rather close to where I'd like to put one of the speakers. Do you think fish will be particularly bothered by Wagner? If so the speakers are going to another room.

The long and short of it: no

Thanks for the links Bloo, I really must remember to use that search feature more...
It would seem subdued music ought not to be too bad, so the new speakers go down stairs.
Oddly enough, I have noticed the fish react to certain music, especially Pink Floyd. Berk the Gourami will always come to the front of the tank when it's on.

Sorry about the pun... I just sort of had to.

Music or loud noise doesnt seem to bother my fish in the slightest. I have an 80w speaker in the stand of my rio 180. It kicks off a lot of base but there doesnt seem to be any problem.

It seems fish are more bothered by fast motions more than anything else or atleast mine are. But never had any problames with music so rock on
