Why is my goldfish killing my other fish? If goldfish don’t have enough space, they may get stressed and eat other fish to clear up the room. Each goldfish needs 10 gallons of water.

So the short answer is no, do not leave your lights on.
Do any fish make noise? Another way fish can make noise is called “stridulation”. This is a sound made by rubbing bones, armour plates or teeth together. Examples of this are seahorses, which can produce popping sounds by rubbing the edges of their skull together, or some marine catfish which can “squeak” using specialised rays in their fins.
