i went to a lfs and saw in a holding tank of 30 gallons, and in a log, i saw a small electric cat, for what scares me only 5 dollars, anyway it was wegded in the long with wholes, it was surrounded but alot of rahpael cats, but in teh tank was a young clown knife, some small angels, and so other labyrith armur cats. anyway, i was shocked to see the raphaels right next ,and some touching the electric cat. how is this right, i mean with angels and the cat.

ps and i am not saying anything bad about that lfs, just wanted to know.

Either a misidentified catfish or they may only shock small prey fish ?

They do not give off a constant electric charge like the "passive electric" fish (knifefish, mormyrids). Their shocks are voluntary and they only shock something when they feel alarmed.

The raphael catfish were were not trying to hurt the electric catfish, and so it did not try to shock them.
