Dairy cruelty. The Truth About Fish. Many people are surprised to learn fish communicate with each other using low frequency squeaks and squeals, which humans can only hear using special instruments.
Some fish even sing to impress a potential partner. Many also build nests for their young. While others collect small stones to build a space to hide and rest. Dr Culum Brown, a specialist in fish behaviour from Macquarie University (NSW) says ‘Fish are more intelligent than they appear.
