Caqueta Umbriferum Rio Magladena Drumming

[CICHLID STRAIN HUNTERS]

I have a question, do umbees drum? If you know what I'm talking about, if you've witnessed it before let us know, because my fish does it daily its his alpha dance or when he's just plain pissed and he also knows when the light are going off, right before they do he will start going the *#@% off a minute to 30 seconds before the light go off, their on a timer.

There are a number of cichlids that use sound to communicate, in the book "The Cichlid Fishes Natures Grand Experiment in Evolution" George Barlow dedicates and entire chapter to "Cichlid Speak, and part of it deals with the sounds cichlids make.
The rainbow cichlid produces volleys of thumps and purrs. Oreochromis mossambicus is known to have a rich vocabulary, to site just a couple.
