Underwater hearing is by bone conduction, and localization of sound appears to depend on differences in amplitude detected by bone conduction. [7] As such, aquatic animals such as fish have a more specialized hearing apparatus that is effective underwater. [8] Fish can sense sound through their lateral lines and their otoliths (ears).
Synodontis make a sound that sounds like squeaking by rubbing their spines together. They do this when they have been frightened or when they become angry. [2] Synodontis may also squeak when they are taken out of the water. [1] These catfish are small- to medium-sized fish [4] with many species

This is the notion that animals need a more or less constant amount of sleep every day, so that if a subject is deprived of sleep one day, the amount of sleep tends to "rebound" (increase) the next few days. This has been observed in zebrafish. At night ...
One thing that is not recommended: releasing fish into a local aquatic wildlife setting. Many pet fish are exotic to the U.S., she said, and doing so could release an invasive species or unknown ...
