WTB EELS

[TEXASFIST210]

Looking for Gardening eels plz let me know what u have so i can go over and order or if ya have them there will buy

[StevenSeas]

Pollys can get, pm randy

[Randy@pollyspets]

Make sure you have a deep enough sand bed, around 6 inches. This gives them the room to tunnel a hole out for themselves!

[TEXASFIST210]

Yeah i was going to add more sand what was the price per eel's and what size?

[hobogato]

very cool, i wanted to add them to my tank when i changed it to agressive reef, but they can be jumpers and i like having the tank open on top. cant wait to see some pics when you get some

they have a big display tank with them at the georgia aquarium - stood there for quite a while watching them last summer :)

[Mr Cob]

I want to see some pics when you get the eels in. I have always wanted to do some...but the peaceful reef always gets me first.

[txav8r]

the peaceful reef always gets me first.

This reminds me. I need to post a thread in the FS forum.

[Neptune@gabesfish]

These eels are not easy to keep and should be kept in numbers.. If you plan on putting them in your big tank (32hex) I think that is a very bad plan ..

[TEXASFIST210]

well my wife still wants a octopus so i might get that. first im going to build a
top for my fish tank then get one.

[TEXASFIST210]

so if anyone wants to sell me an octopus plz pm me and price and ill get back to u.

[hobogato]

before you jump into that, you may want to do some reading at tonmo.com - great ceph site with lots of information from experts and hobbyists


so if anyone wants to sell me an octopus plz pm me and price and ill get back to u.

[TEXASFIST210]

well my friend had one for a long time and gave me alot of info on it.
so im set and ready for one. thanks tho

[ErikH]

32g is not large enough for a bimac. 75 or better.... Unless you WTB a blue ring or a dwarf.

Sorry, maybe I'm out of place in this thread.....But, first you were ready for the Eel, although a small tank(for their needs)....Then, you became dead set on a Octo...Why so jumpy?

[TEXASFIST210]

im going to order a octopus today or tomorrow. i got all info I need and was trying to decide if i wanted a eel or octopus in my tank and my wife really want a octopus. im not going to wait for weeks to decide so its not jumpy. My tank is ready to go, been setup for a long time and has not had anything in there for weeks.

[hobogato]

cool, what kind are you going to get? i would have loved to do one in my 150, but i didnt want to close in the top, and i have corals in there which is not a good idea with octos. please keep us updated with lots of pic :)

[chunkymonkey]

good luck. I always wanted one....Cool watching them move

[TEXASFIST210]

Dont want to get a blue ring octopus.im not to sure right now but im going to see what everyone has to offer. im talking to some guy about one right now. just waiting for reply. yeah i really didnt want to close the top but i have to so im going to build a top for it today and see how that goes.

[chunkymonkey]

I definitely wouldn't get a bluering. Their color usually only comes out as a sign of aggression, not to mention the fact of being poinsonous, lol. Be sure that top is solid and weighed down. also need a lot of live rock for hiding.

[Mr Cob]

What else do you plan to keep? Looks like you need a new thread now.... "WTB an Octo"

[Europhyllia]

I think you will really enjoy your new tank! What size is it? I had a 30g for several years and getting a bigger tank really opens up the possibilities (like octopus!)
Be sure to post lots of pics. This will be an interesting one.
I think Ace already mentioned tonmo and since you've been researching already for weeks you probably already saw this but I am posting it for anybody else who may not have seen it yet:

I think the Bali Zebras are really pretty:

[TEXASFIST210]

well maybe some starfish but not a chocolate chip star something different.

[chunkymonkey]

aren't starfish "iffy" targets for food with the octos?....BTW, stay away from this octo, meanest of the bunch, lol:

Looking forward to see this thing in your tank. I love how they move on the ocean floor.
