Never trust a catfish :(
- Thread starter Chicxulub
- Start date
Expensive snack no doubt.. can't figure out what it is though... My TSN tried that w/ one of my Tropicals once... he got shredded fairly well.
It was one of my two imperial loaches. It was 7-8 inches long! The cat's only about 10-11", but a lot thicker. What's crazy is that they've been together since spring! They've even shared hiding spots this entire time. She can't seem to get the loach all the way swallowed, but she doesn't seem to be in distress so I'm not too worried. I know you're never supposed to trust a catfish, but I never would have imagined that she could have choked down a loach 3/4 of her own length!

I'm really having a bad day.
I was coming out of the house and heading toward my truck so I could go run some errands. As I stepped through the door on the porch, a gigantic hornet, who was looking and sounding reasonably like a Chinook helicopter came in for a hot landing on my leg. Seeing a three inch wasp land on my thigh, I took the completely reasonable action of screaming like a little ***** and swatting it with my cap.
Unfortunately for me, I forgot that I had my Oakleys on my hat. As I was swatting the dual rotor waspicopter off of my leg, I found that my Oakleys underwent a centripetal parabolic acceleration in order to achieve terminal velocity before transferring their accumulated energy into the concrete of my porch.
In other words, I now have Broakleys.
However, I went up to the farm store and got some crazy glue to glue them back together so that I can have some Ghettoakleys.
That is after all better than Noakleys. ESPECIALLY since I know the house commander won't let me buy another pair right now.

Since these guys have been together since the Spring..I'm thinking that the Loach may have trusted the catfish too much. I have some smaller fish in a 150 tank with some much larger fish...and many times with the way the smaller fish are behaving (trusting the larger fish too much)...I'm thinking that one of these days the larger fish (if they get extra hungry) may eat the smaller fish. When if the smaller fish were more cautious as they should be...they would have been fine.
As far as a 10-11" catfish eating a 7-8" loach...YIKES!
