They make chirping sounds with their pectoral fins.

Yes, they are very cool. I have a pair of them, large and very, very fat. They eat anything that fits into their mouth, and I can tell you that that mouth can take a lot bigger things than it looks like.

And they make noise. At first I thought there was something wrong with their tank.

But I finally realized that it was the fish that was the noisy one. The first time I had to take one out of the water, I almost threw it away in fear, as the sound they made above water was really scary.

But I love them to bits. BTW, I have the striped one. And you just have to love this face:
