Fish “Talks” on Radio
A talking catfish startled listeners to a recent broadcast from a New York City radio station. When removed from his tank in the Staten Island, N. Y., zoo, the conversational catfish, a native of the Amazon region of South America, made curious sounds into the studio microphone as part of a natural-history program.

I wish there was audio to go with this, I’d love to hear what the Fish had to say…
Great site BTW…

I can’t identify the fish, though I suspect it is saying somthing a bit like this:

Mine sound like this:

The latter does translate, but not into language I’d care to use in a public forum.
