oh oh #1

Well way back when my gf thinger started her tank she wanted an eel. She fell in love with a small baby tessalata eel and we bought it.it was in her 55gallon tank until recently when her mom decided it was to much like a snake and it had to go.so I took it home.my only available tanks were my chi tank nd my 29 biocube.into the biocube it goes waiting to be traded/purchased buy some1.

Uhoh #2

When my mantis ted passed away (former resident of the biocube mentioned b4) I decided I wanted a zebra mantis.I told one of my lfs I wanted 1 he said he could get me a small 1 for$ 50. I said great and paid the man( special order iteams need to be paid up front).fast fowrad to presant...he calls and says I got your zebra mantis come get him.I ask if he can hang on to him or trade for the eel. He says no to both grrrr. I go pick up herbert(zebra mantis) bring him home. Now where to put him bc the eel is in what was supposed to be his tank.I thought critter tote in my reef tank but that scared me a bit to much.talked to my mom about my issue and to my surprise she says" well if its only temporary and he can be in a small tank (he's only about 2.5inches) u can put the tank in the kitchen" wooohooo.

 

Nice deal!
Not to promote another site, (as I LOVE this one!), but if you post a thread on Manhatan reefs, you'll find someone local to take that Eel off your hands. I only say this as it is more local to us here on the Island and easier to come by a local SW fan that could pick him up. Good luck with the Mantis! I have one and LOVE HIM/HER!

 

i think eel's are worse than snakes lol . thay creap me out bad i dont know why but thay give me nightmares when ever i see them

 

Lol her mom thought it was cute web it was the size of a straw.but its pretty big now.and more snakeish

The eel was on mr actually but not much intrest...im gonna try cl tonight I think...this is my 1st spearer mantis,I have had afew smashers though. My last 1 was trained enough for me to put him in my reef tank.I could even hold him and pet his belly.

 

I certainly wound'nt try that with a spearer! Ouchy! Just re-bump the post on MR. I have bought many things that I didn't see the first few times around. Most people only check out the updated posts.

 

cant hurt that much from a little guy lol jkjk ill be going alittle slower with this little guy. its only the second day plenty of time.i tihnk im going to make a new post just for the eel.
