He's outta here

[ErinCahir]

So I've given it a lot of thought over the past few days, and I've decided that Kobayashi, the snowflake eel has got to go. I gave my husband the option of either setting up another tank for him or taking him to the LFS. He picked the LFS (it's his fish). It seems like anytime one of our fish displays any kind of weakness (the leopard wrasse with the worms, anything that sleeps out in the open) he goes after. Luckily, all the fish we added before him are super healthy... however most of the things we've tried to add after him aren't so lucky. So I'm going to try to catch him today (which really shouldn't be too hard, he a pig).

Say goodbye!

Awww, well, just dangle a Silverside in the tank, and net him when he can't resist.

Aww poor eel he should get his own tank its not his fault he is just being an eel.

So long lil' fella'...

Where you taking him to? I think im going to stop by reef and pond to look for 6 line. I know they are a dime a dozen, but i really like these wrasses

Sorry to here that.:( He is a beautiful eel!

I always hated eels. i would catch them and they would mess up my line. And they look like a snake. so laters Mr. EEL

 

[Fireplug]

would have to add that seems to be a good camera. Great photo

 

[ErinCahir]

HA! I'm taking him to Reef n Pond (if I can get them to answer their phone).
Have you been to Todd's? (On Hampden & Parker) I was in there a week ago, they had a couple.

And I know it's not his fault. I researched before I bought (including asking the forum). I'm just tired of worrying about anything new I put in the tank. He's going back to the store... it's not like I'm putting him to sleep.

 

[little_fish]

I already called them this morning and they are having major phone issues, i could hardly hear the guy on the other end.

And im sure he will find a new nice home soon, they are popular!

 

[ErinCahir]

I know, right?
They had a teeny weeny one last time I went... maybe eight inches. Super cute.

I really wanted to get one the ribbon eels, but the i released i couldnt have any other fish with them and i would need a lid. I still love the ribbon eels, i would love to have a tank just for them one day.

I know, right? Soo pretty!!

I was slightly unimpressed with the selection at the store today. But they were getting their shipment right when I got there...
I got a fuzzy shroom and a head of hammer. I still have some credit. I feel like a world of possibilities have been opened now that he's gone.

And Mt Fuji = AWESOME!

 

[ErinCahir]

Here he is...

And here's the fuzzy shroom I got

I'm going to call this rock "Mount Nemo". :mrgreen:
