Sorry guys I wouldn't say i am new to the Cat world... I was just wondering if anyone ever housed an Electric cat with a walking cat together? They are both very serious little guys. My electric cat is currently housed with a Synd cat and they get along just fine.. LOL, well they stay at opposite ends of the tank. It is time for some consolidating so any opinions??
Walking Cat and Electric cat together??

Alright I admit I jumped the gun on this thread a little bit. They would be housed in a 55 together.....After some research it seems that everyones Electric cat grows extremely quick. Mine however does not. I got him around an inch and I would say in 1yr he is about 2 inches.My walking cat however has tripled in size....
I would assume the aggressive behavior of "Walky" would get him killed...
Any input would of course be appreciated.

I would say no, they shouldn't be put together.
I had electrics for a while, but I kept the two alone. From what I've read they can only be housed with some (possible all) syno's because the synos are immune to the shock. I didn't get a chance to test the theory.
I do know that the shock gets more powerful as the fish grow. After about 8" you don't want to be shocked by them, you'll remember it if you are. From what I know about the clarius they are very aggressive.
A tip for the e-cat, feed him worms. Like leaf worms at this size. My 10" & 8" used to devour several nightcrawlers a piece each night.

I have personally witnessed an EC put into a tank with Clarias...ended up with the Clarias flinging themselves out the top of the tank lol. An ECs shocks get stronger and more fish killy as they get bigger.
