my fave is the redtailed catfish
i had one from a baby and she grew to 4 foot
sadly due to an accident in the tank she died about 6 years ago
she was very freindly she used to swim to my hand and lay on it to get her belly stroked

Well, by favorite True "tank buster" was a Talapia Buttokoferi. he spent hours trying to actually break the tank with a rock in the corner. it sounded like gunfire. I sold him for $80 in store credit, since they are now illegal to ship more than 5 a year into the country. my "Budda" was pretty kool.

Badplankton, I think your mouse did what mine does all the time. It double clicked for some reason instead of once. :)
As for tank busters, my fav would be:

1. Arrowana ( I am also crossing my fingers in hopes to get 1 oneday.
2. Snakehead ( If the aquarium world were to have a serial killer, I think the snakehead would be a prime candidate. + I think they can grow quite large. )
3. Irredescent shark ( they probably shouldn"t be kept in aquariums but sure do bust tanks! )
