This isn't exactly a fish story, but a crayfish story. I had a 30 gallon with a few fish in it, and I had a 10 gallon next to it with a crayfish I caught in a local stream. I went away for the weekend, gave everyone food but I guess I forgot to cover the crayfish tank. So I got back, and the crayfish was missing. I started looking on the floor and couldn't find it anywhere. I gave up on it, but a few weeks later the water in my 30g started clouding A LOT. I decided to just empty it an clean it. I had these fairly big rocks in the bottom as substrate at the time. When I got down to the substrate there was an awful smell, and sure enough I found the crayfish dead in there. It must have crawled out of it's tank and into the 30 g but then died lol. I found it kind of amazing.
