i read an article about fishes that they can see infrared light. well light have different wavelengths, and our eyes are only capable of seeing the visible light (ROYGBIV), eyes of different organisms have different capacity and does really fish can see infrared? in this case, try sending MMS via infrared between your aquarium... ahehehehehe i never tried that...

I could not see the page that you listed but in my opinion, only the fish that live in shallow water "might" be able to see infrared light. The reason behind this statement is that as you go deeper in the water the reds and infrared will get filtered out so the fishes and other animals do not need to be able to see colors that are filtered out. It would not surprise me if fish that live in shallow water can see and detect infrared light.
