Trivia
- Occasionally, after four regular songs, fish will sing an extended version of one of their songs, prompting an unseen audience to applaud at the end.
- Startling a fish by tapping the glass will cause them to stop singing their current song, even fish that are not startled like ultravores and ball fish. This also occurs after being punched by Walter.
- This attribute is the most common among pre-named fish, with a total of three out of six fish having some ability to sing.
