Clarias, the walking catfish. I got some neat looking, black and white
mottled ones at a Petland here. Later I learned that there is some kind of
federal restrictions on possessing or transporting them. While I had them,
I learned that they're one of the cats that have surgically sharp pectoral
spines. Just brushing against them will pierce your skin before you can
even feel it. I have had the same experience with Noturus insignis
(remember that one, Mike T?) and juvenile Ameiurus nebulosus.
