Yesterday, when I woke up, I was about to put my sleepers when I saw a corpse of a fish just beside my bed, between my sleepers:


Smell was not good meaning it was there for a long time. I spent a few moments to realize it was really a fish. My first impression was that it could be a monster insect as lights on my room were still off.
Well, it was a fish indeed. But what fish? How could he possibly come from my living room to my bedroom?

After doing my morning countdown I noticed it was a 5" Clown loach.
I never let my tank uncovered but there are always some slim passages between the glass and the external hang on filters from where the fish jumped off.

The curious thing now was to know how the fish came to my bedroom (without caudal fin and head...).
Well... I do have a cat. He must have found the fish on the floor, struggling for oxigen and, after playing a bit with him, brought him to me as a child would bring and say: "Father... he is not playing anymore. Keep it!"

Hope he/she rest in peace...

Anyway... I have the oportunity to check all slim holes and introduced 3 seven inch PVC pipes to fit as caves for my loaches:
