It's Just a Tank

I bought the ribbon. I felt rude for letting it sit in my chart and think about it. Husband said "get him". Tankstop is now out of stock on the ribbon eel. Gunna clean up the 60 and get it ready.

I dunno, I didn't sleep at all last night. I was plagued with "what ifs". I am going to call later and ask him if they would ship the eel if it were injured. They only get arrive alive guarantee.

It was back in 2010 in las cruces I saw one that was shipped in and the tail was disintegrated. Half an inch of bone was showing. Severe ammonia burn :(

I think it will be OK. Sending some protective forcefield vibes over to your little eel to help it get to you safe and sound.

Yeah ... That's not this shop.. Eric has a premium reputation. Many, if not most of the fish he deals with are the high end, to high end buyers. Shipping out an alive yet deformed eel Would be very off-brand.

You will not get a damaged fish from Eric. The only way that would happen is if the shipper ran over the box. He packages things like they are going to a war zone before they come to you.
 
Ribbon should be here tomorrow should ups not fail. The water is 1.021, so matched quarantine water to that. There was a video sent and the eel could be transitioning into female.

Couple of rock and a piece of pvc.

No stand. The stand for that tank is a piece of termite droppings. (You gotta love this site wording your curses for you) I'll have nightmares of it falling on my son and hound. Gotta get the top tightened up. I have a plan for that.

1000 rules broken. I'll adjust what is needed.

Sg 1.021. Temp 78. I'll probably pick up more pvc as the other piece is buried.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

I had no idea they were sexually dimorphic. That's cool!
All are born male. No one knows what triggers the female to morph. This one looks like a juvenile morphing green/yellow.

What biologist believe, they all turn blue first. Green next. Blue is still a male. Green is the female. I'll try to upload the video I was sent. But, tomorrow might show me better. It could be turning blue.

Looks juvi color to me in the pic which would be cool so that you’ll get to see all of its color morphs as it matures :)
