If a electric cat is housed with an aggressive fish will the aggrssive fish learn to leave the cat alone? Kind of like classical conditioning with the shocks. Or will one of them kill the other?

That depends. Some e-cats can be passive. Some fish such as synodontis are immune to e-cat shocks. I am to tired to work on a more detailed anwser. amazonfishman should cime in soon and give a better anwser
one will most likely kill the other....the e-cat will probally fry the other
the only thing you can realy put in with that is a synodontis catfish i think they are shock resistant
how big is it?
how big is your tank?

not always m9 my1 foot e cat killed me synodontis but it was v small and my e cat killed every thing from gold fish and big jaguar chiclids that e cat was me best eva fish
As its been said, eventually the E cat will shock the other fish to death unless the other fish was able to kill the e cat before that happened which would only be able to take place if the other fish was much much larger and the e cat was small to begin with and only able to produce a small amount of voltage. I need to know what fish your talking about keeping with the e cat and what sizes both fish are to give you a better idea on how the battle would turn out ~Trent
i had a 8 electric cat and i put a 1ft female jaguar because she was being bad to all my other fish and my redtail hate that thing chasin around the tank at the time. She came out after two weeks and all her scales were burnt like you would cook a fish on a hot frying pan of a grill. I just wanted to teach it fear... because that jag was just fearless!
an stubborn i wanted her to be a bit layed back. i was suprise it survied after countles chains of electrical attacks day in and night. it was laid back and didn't bother the others only for a month
i gave it away for only ten bucks because my redtail didn't like the poor jaguar chiclid. Lesson i learn is to give a jaguar chiclid it very own space.

Lesson i learn is to give a jaguar chiclid it very own space.I'm not sure about this whole thing, but at my LFS, there was a 220 gal tank with an electric cat, maybe 6" and a huge clown knife. The electric cat wasted the clown knife one night. So......
I was given an Electric cat fish a few years back I had a Large Channa Aurantimaculata in the time I went indoors from my fish room had a bowl of pastor and came back the cat fish had electrocuted the Channa and as it was an air breather drowned. I could not get it out that night so when I got home from work the next day set about the task of getting it out of a planted 180 at this point I discovered it had killed my Gobies another fish I had grown from a fingerling so there is my life story of Electric cats and no I don’t have one now.
