Has anyone noticed ill effects to fish in regards to loud music close to fish ?
Music is my second hobby and I like it loud! I have 1000 amp surround system in livingroom near to future location of 110 gallon tank? If this will stress out fish, then I will need to look at other locations such as bedroom.

Thanks for your input...

The vibration may be bothersome to the fish. I play music near my fish, but we're only talking about enough volume to be heard throughout my house, not a 1000 watt system that can be heard at my neighbor's house, three doors down. I think you'd simply have to observe the fish and see how they do.

(sorry i'm bored at work)
 
they should b fine i play drums right next to my tank and the fish dont even flinch
 
Thanks for all your input.... I don't have the liberty of cranking up the volume and checking the fish as the tank ain't up yet.... This tank is still in the 'planning' stages and I am trying to think of everything so I don't run into any trouble. If push comes to show I will have to think about leaving the volume at lower levels. :dance

Thanks again.. Everybody have a super weekend !

It can blow their tiny eardrums and then they wont swim wight.
 
I've read in a scientific journal that loud noises (i.e. music) can cause liver damage to fish over prolonged periods. I can't find anything about this on the internet, though. I'd play it safe and wear headphones--or don't listen to the music so loud.
