  • The coolest fish you've never heard of. The plainfin midshipman can sing, survive hours without water, defends its eggs with its life, and even grunts! In this episode, Sarika tries to convince Anthony why the plainfin midshipman (a fish you’ve probably never heard of) is perhaps the coolest fish in the world. #TheNatureOfThings101 #plainfinmidshipman #singingfish #TIL

      To the editor: next times do less visual/auditory restlessness, such as a random shaky cam shot of a fake alien for a split second, or relatively loud overstimulating 'background' music. Just because the editor has ADHD, doesn't mean he should spread his curse to other people.
      Or slowly but surely lose the cream of your audience to whoever is willing to swallow this bad editing

    40ish years ago as a kid I was playing in the tide pools around Avila Beach, CA and found one of these things. I told everyone I found a fish under a rock on dry land and it grunted at me, but nobody believed me.
    Today I'm vindicated! Fascinating!

      Had a catfish repeatedly grunt at me when I was a kid fishing and was freaked out and started crying. I was the one who caught it and it was pretty big. But I was absolutely terrified of him. Thankfully my dad calmed me down and put it back in the water.

    I was a child when I watched Don Knotts in the movie “The Incredible Mr. Limpet”. It’s the story of a man that loves fish so much he becomes one after falling into the water. He becomes a WW2 hero when he discovers as a fish he can make a loud bellowing sound to warn the navy of the presence of enemy ships. This fish makes that story come alive for me!

    As a fellow fish enthusiast (and herpetologist, fellow studier of the misunderstood underdog) I’m so excited that fish are FINALLY appreciated by the public.
    Listen, I have intuition and I foresee a time within our lifetime where fish verbal/ electromagnetic communication will become a significant field of study. And we’re going to realize just how intelligent so many of them are. It’s already started. I also think that with AI’s help we will be able to start communicating with Cetaceans in the near future. I truly do.
    I’ve been training my yoyo loaches to know when it’s feeding time vs water change time, vs other tank maintenance. My goal is to see if they react differently when I hum a different series of notes to them through the glass. So far they have begun to act accordingly for each “song”. This is far from a scientific experiment, but observations are incredibly important as you know. I need to start documenting this little personal experiment, but this indicates that they are able to identify precursors to change in environment, and anticipate this change. This would suggest the cognitive ability to comprehend a “future” point in time. Also, that they may be able to identify different frequencies and sequences but they could also just be reacting to visual cues and stimulus too…though as you know loaches have poor eyesight lol. This is all just hypothetical at this point, but you might want to start looking into developing studies for these observations, for as many species as you can! (I won’t ask for my name in your research paper lol)
    Anyway, sorry nerding out. Thank you so much for your research!!! I quickly fell in love with this fish. I can’t wait for my husband to wake up so I can show him this video.

      Loaches, as a whole, are an amazing and fascinating species. In particular, the Clown, Kuhli, Yo-yo loaches. My Clowns have learned to go to the bottom of the tank and lift one pectoral fin and wave it at me. I always wave back at the same time. Loaches are so intelligent.

    I lived in a sailboat for a while. It’s one of my favorite memories. If I could, I would do it again in fact, I would never leave the ocean. At night is my favorite time. Laying in my listening to the sounds. There are many unwritten rules of living in such a community of boats. Sound travels through the water, most wonderfully, or horribly depending upon the sound. And one of the boats was a musician. He would play at night until 10 o’clock. 21:00 or 9 o’clock at night was the time to quiet down, 22:00 or 10 o’clock was the hour of silence. He played the violin, the French horn, I’m not sure, but I think the oboe, sometimes the guitar but very seldom… but this could’ve been a record player. His violin at times could break your heart as a song, always travel through the water and verberate off my hull. The French horn was so romantic it would make your heart sway. But I think was the oboe, that I can’t really describe, but when you close your eyes, you were floating suspended over a hidden paradise lightly with exotic flowers, and the fresh breeze off of clear crystal water. Just say I I look forward to the evenings of listening to the music is a great understatement. When he changed his plane to more subtle and sweet music with the tones of woodwinds, music to put children to sleep. At 10 o’clock silence. Well…. Almost silence. The orchestra and the choir of the sea would begin its turn. The snap shrimp would be busy, snapping and clicking, and the fish would start to sing your songs looking for mate. I so love the sounds this day. I miss them. A recording would not do it. You need a feeling of floating on the water to accompany. The sounds. And then there’s a sound of the riggings as the lines and halyards back-and-forth. The night here on a boat so full of sounds, they can transport your imagination to another plane where your heart can do nothing else but sing.
