That is a sweet looking eel.

If you type [IMG] before and [/ IMG] after your links the picks will be imbedded in the thread. Leave out the space between the / and I in the second one.

sweet eel is he by himself

SW1TCH · 02/01/2006, 06:59 PM

Thanks for the replys

aquaman- thanks for the tip gonna try and rember that.

Carson- No he is not by himself he is with two blue/green chromis and a bursa trigger. The trigger and the chromis's useally hide when he does come out for feeding. The trigger allmost got bit once while eating a chunck of shrimp.

Very nice......

I got a Zebra today myself.....

LRS078 · 02/01/2006, 09:48 PM

Nice eel....(bonus points for it NOT being a snowflake) j/k

Seriously nice eel, even if he isn't chromis friendly long term...

SW1TCH · 02/02/2006, 07:55 PM

Thanks for the comments rnelson and lrs078.

Hows the eel doing today rnelson? how big is the eel? got a pic.

rnelson · 02/02/2006, 08:08 PM

Doing good I guess.....he's found one of the 2" PVC tubes and made it his home. Tried to get him to eat but I guess it's too early. I'll get a pic soon.....he's about 18"

I'm worried about my SF though.....she's been hiding for a couple of days now, not normal for her. I can see her thru the rocks and she's still alive, but she hasn't moved from this location in almost 2 days....she was eating really well and now I don't know what to think.....these are my first eels so I don't know firsthand how they act....but I'm worried. Tried to get her to feed tonight and she didn't even move.

SW1TCH · 02/02/2006, 09:00 PM

How long have you had the sf? Might be just stress due to the new eel in the tank.

SW1TCH · 02/02/2006, 09:24 PM

Just giveing this a shot...

rnelson · 02/02/2006, 09:39 PM

Yep, sweet looking eel!!!!

SF has been in there about 10 days....I don't know if she even knows the other eel is in there with her.....anyway, about 20 minutes ago she stuck her head out, so I fed her about 4 pieces of krill.....from the way she took it, I think she's "cured"

SW1TCH · 02/03/2006, 04:09 PM

Mine didnt eat the first day either. Took a day or two before he did but eats like a horse now.

rnelson · 02/03/2006, 10:07 PM

Zebby finally ate something about 20 minutes ago....he ate 3 large pieces of krill. He has a pretty stout "tug", much more so than Lucille the SFE, but, he's quite a bit bigger than her.

Glad he's eating.....thanks for your advice to be patient.....

SW1TCH · 02/04/2006, 10:42 AM

Cool glad to hear everything is going well with the eel. Keep us posted as to how it goes. If you think he is strong now wait till he get bigger. Last night when lights were off i watched mine grab onto the return spout and bite it and start shakeing his head back and forth like it was a peice of food. Thought he was gonna break the return line with as hard as he pulling on it. I will have to see if thier is any teeth marks in it.

mtracer · 02/04/2006, 10:57 AM

Nice Zebra, My san has a 3ft monster, Loves KRill

SW1TCH · 02/04/2006, 11:16 AM

mtracer- Cool another Zebra owner how long has your son had the zebra? Does he have any pics he could post?
