Hi Hierdie is maar net vir interesantheid. Ek het n klein 60 L tenk in my slaapkamer maar elke aand hoor ek kliek kliek geluide - wil net weet wat kan dit wees, ek dink dis my pakistanie (yoyo) loaches. Daar is 3 Red Robin, 6 Bronze Corys en 6 Diamond Tetras. Wat dink julle maak so en hoekom - Proff Dirk weet jy dalk.
As dit 'n aanhoudende kliek is moet jy maar al die elektriese bedrading na gaan jong. Ek het verlede jaar so snaakse geluid gehoor en toe agtergekom dis een van my ballasts wat vonkies maak.
As dit net elke nou en dan is, is dit dalk jou heater wat aan en af skakel, my een heater maak so 'n geluid wanneer hy aan of af skakel, weet nie hoekom nie.
It could also be a fish tapping something against the glass. We had an angel fish that loved tapping the thermometer against the glass.
It's definitely the Pakistani Loaches. Mine used to do exactly the same thing. I don't know how they do it, or why they do it, but mine used to do it in my lounge tank. I wouldn't worry too much.
Ek word gewoonlik wakker van n tjierrietjierrie............ Dan moet ek my jongste laaitie se marmot van die wiel afjaag. Ek sweer ek gaan die ding olie gee of superglue!(aan die marmot se pote...)
My money is on the yoyo loach, mine use to make that kind of the sound while he was chasing the other fish.
It's the loaches. Most loach species do it. They have barbs hidden under their skin that they use to protect themselves and they can also be used to make a clicking noise. Loaches have been known to do this during feeding at night. I've heard mine do it.
Loaches make this sound close to a snail, to stunn it, in order to keep the "lid" open, before they eat it! I've seen this happen to a "stray" large apple snail! They also use the sound to communicate and when they are excited! They also do this at feeding time with live bloodworm! A few loaches could keep you up, if the tank is in your room, or if there is a eco in the room, where the tank is situated.
