Do angel fish make clicking noises?

Question

I have a few tetras, yellow snails and catfish. They are all very happy, living in twenty gallon tank. I do keep the tank well maintained.

Answer 1

I haven't seen anything about freshwater angels, but I have read reports of saltwater angels clicking when stressed.

I'll let you know in a year or so when I set up my angel tank :-P

Answer 2

I have a large koi angel fish and she makes no noise except when feeding. She pecks flakes off the surface of the water and this results in a slight noise, comparable to a drop of water falling in the tank. Otherwise I've never experienced any sounds. I also just recently purchased some tetras, snails and chinese algae eater since the last of my chilchids (apart from the angel) just died and I wanted to go for a less aggressive tank this time.

Answer 3

I have a False Eyed Toby in my tank and I can hear him click when he eats... he also comes to the surface and makes noise too!

Answer 4

its been my experience that they do lol... we used to have a 180 gallon fish tank and had many fish... i learned alot from having both salt water and fresh water... fresh tend not to last as long, but salt water are alot of work... what he notice which was cute was the puffer fish loved to me patted.. he would go to the top of the tank and rubb up against my handlol

Answer 5

no angel fish don't. they may gulp food ad make a suction type noise
some catfish and grunters will though.

i dont think people read the question correctly and generalised on fish in general

Answer 6

they can make a clicking noise with their jaw. it is very faint and usually only in breeding age fish.

Answer 7

they definitely do!!
this is obvious not only in aquariums but also when you go scuba diving or snorkeling you can hear them clicking away under water next to you
