    My Big Guy swallowed:skull: (well almost) my little Snowflake Eel!:uhoh2:

    I put in a piece of Squid and the snowflake grabbed it straight away, it was a bit big for him so he started tying himself in knots. My Moray noticed all the action and decided he wanted the same food. They started fighting over it and next thing i knew... The biggin had the snowflake half way down his throat!:eek:
    I screamed at my bf "Mine is eating yours!", In shock i grabbed the feeding tongs and tried to pull him out, as i did the Moray let go and spit him out! He seems okay, torn upper and lower fin, but still accepted food afterwards.

    So then about 3 hours later i check on my 1 gallon with a huge Golden Mystery Snail, and see he's standing strange eating something blackish looking. As i don't feed anything like that i looked. HE was EATING my mollie guppy. The guppy was about 2-3 months old and about an inch long!

    So anyone else's fish going kill happy tonight?

    I bet if you post a pic of that snail in the ID THIS forum, pagojoe will tell you what it is. And your eel is a tough one to kill.
