House set on fire by fighting fish

Kipper, an eight-inch catfish, is thought to have triggered the blaze when it fought with a rival in their tank.

Water splashed out of the aquarium and landed on an electric plug below.

It sent a power surge up the tank’s light cable which burnt the lid and sent smouldering plastic dripping onto a leather sofa which caught alight.
