The undersea world isn't as quiet as we thought, according to a New Zealand researcher who found fish can "talk" to each other.
Fish communicate with noises including grunts, chirps and pops, University of Auckland marine scientist Shahriman Ghazali has discovered according to newspaper reports Wednesday.
"All fish can hear, but not all can make sound -- pops and other sounds made by vibrating their swim bladder, a muscle they can contract," Ghazali told the New Zealand Herald.
Fish are believed to communicate with each other for different reasons, including attracting mates, scaring off predators or orienting themselves.

15 billion of the “stimulous” package went into studying the facial expressions of fish while they have sex. (wouldn’t be surprised)

Fish conversations are pretty routine:
Fish 1 - What did ya’ll do today
Fish 2 - I pooped a lot
Fish 3 - I swam a lot
Fish 4 - I ate and swam
Fish 5 - I ate poop
Fish 6 - I swam in poop

Fish pick-up lines: “So: what school are you in?” “Swim by here often?” “Take the bait off that hook for you?” “What’re you drinking? Really? Me, too!”
