S.A. Bumblebee Catfish squeaking?

Post by KGlo »

I have two bumblebee catfish in a 35 gallon tank; I had just turned the light off for the night and like usual the two catfish came out from their hiding spots and started swimming around. A few seconds later they started chasing eachother (not that usual, they're quite territorial towards eachother) but then they started squeaking! I know some catfish can grunt and croak but I'd never heard of bumblebee catfish making noise not to mention squeaking! Has anyone else heard of this?

There are a number of SA cats commonly called "bumblebees" which species are you referring to?

Hmm, I've seen mine do some crazy stuff but have never heard a thing from them. Perhaps someone else has. I'm very curious now.
