Fish Crazy
Ive had a pair of 12" albino clarias for about 3 weeks now, and how amaizing they are to watch!!!
I know they are tank busters and have them in a 4ft tank on their own at the moment, with a bundle of rocks and wood at the one end of the tank as there hide out, and the rest of the tank free for feeding and swimming. ive a 7ft by 2 ft tank linned up for the future as there new home.
on the first night of having them, i stayed up late watching them and was happy they'd settled in well.
when i came down in the morning i could only see the 1 cat and was hoping the other 1 was hidding in the gravel, but as i looked i realised the other was missing.
id read on the net of there ability to walk from pond to pond, as and when they needed to, in search of food or a new home, and MY clarais had seemed to gone walk about!!!
It wasnt in my middle room ( fish tank room) nor my back room, i found it at the far end of my kitchen floor by the door way, dried out, motionless, coverd in fluf and cobwebs!!!!!!! My eyes almost popped out!!!! I was gutted as it looked dead!!
I got the net and as i went to scoop it up and it wriggled, i washed it quickly and put it back in to its tank, and it swam off as if nothing had happend. the cat had escaped from a small gap in the lid, how mad was that!!!!!!!!!!
ive been feeding them chopped fish and worms they have both been so active and cool to watch,
with no escape exits availible any more.

What a very naughty fishy!! 
Think I'd have freaked. Not sure it would have survived in my house either. I have two cats of the furry kind, one of which is a very good hunter. 
the tanks is very heavily weighted down now
