Ludwig sings
A musical genius is fish with a musical attribute that can be found in the Virtual Tank Store that always costs 30,000 shells. They sing old, classical music and spawn eighth notes when doing so.
Some of the most famous songs sung by musical geniuses are by composers such as Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, and several others.
Santa - Santa is a pre-named fish that is obtained by purchasing a regular guppy for 25 shells and naming it Santa. Santa sings Christmas songs instead of classical music.
Ludwig - Ludwig is a blue and black carnivore with sea green fins that specializes in singing songs by Ludwig van Beethoven.
Kilgore - A violet ultravore that intimidates other fish by playing the music of Richard Wagner. The only song it knows is Ride of the Valkyries.

- Occasionally, 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.
