Space1 A Talking Fish

For a limited time, a fish talking video is available upon request
SPACE1 put huge efforts into making a machine that interfaces fish to English speech. Fish are a species that may one day become astronauts for space faring ventures.

What about fish that can talk with no interface? Is that possible?

While browsing one day at an aquarium store, a very large fish in a tank of his own would otherwise be the same as all the other fish, however when walking by, he said something! Going back to do a double take, indeed this fish was talking and saying something to get a person's attention!

How is that possible? Upon closer examination, the large brain fish revealed a set of human-like qualities - a rather mouth, large lips, an articulating tongue, and a set of human-like teeth. There was no doubt the fish was capable of speech and was making communicative utterances.

But this is fish language and needs translation into English, left for another project. The short video clearly shows the fish communicating. Interspecies communication is not only extremely rare but very important to science. We applaud his amazing efforts and talent. What was he saying? Was he being friendly looking for new owner? Perhaps he was lonely, wanted to do some friendly chat, make friends or just get out of that confining aquarium.
