Vibrations

[bachamp]

Can vibrations harm fish?

If you had music playing in the same room as a fish tank could you stress the fish?

And when I say playing music I mean loud?

[Drumachine09]

Chances are, yes, it would stress the fish making them more vulnerable to sickness and disease.

[jeffs99dime]

yes. it can stress them out

[lefty]

Is it more the bass or the treble at the higher decibles that would be the problem?

[bachamp]

bass would cause the problem.

[lefty]

Any way to sound deaden a glass tank?I love my bass

[Drumachine09]

Bass is more likely to shake the tank, stressing the fish out.

Be careful. We had a party at our place where the music was very very very loucd (specifically the bass) and my american's were very very aggro. They were splashing around a lot and they were actually having a go at each other.

Once the music was turned down they calmed, it took a couple of hours - but I've learnt my lesson.

I was thinking of putting the tank in the pool room (pool table, cocktail bar, big stero) I dont think I will now.

[Drumachine09]

Good Call.

[Severus]

Yes, definitely wouldnt recommend that move

I reckon playing relaxed music alters reality into a relaxed vibe more, and hence the fish will intuitively feel this, and they will relax.

If your playing angry/aggressive music, or electrohouse stuff, they will also feel this.

And yes, the physical vibrations will also cause them to alter :ezpi_wink1:

What about kitchen appliances.

I have my new tank about 3/4 meters away from my washing machine. It can get quite loud but only for short bursts.

I haven't got any fish in it yet (cycling)

Will this stress my fish????

What about vibrations caused by the washing machine???
