Had one class where we not only had a minimum of 400 words with references but our responses also needed references! That was mean!!!

This 100%.

Just honestly I’m old enough to have my own thoughts and opinions that I don’t need to reference.

“I understand how you think you might be right but please live about her 20years and then have a conversation with me on this” :p

Half the time I want to yell and scream and be like DONT YALL THINK FOR YOURSELF? Maybe it’s the experience of life talking. Having multiple jobs and seeing how the real world works….

With the capture of the above nem, if I so choose to grab the eel, I have now reduced my overall cost…

Well my other half’s overall cost since he said he would buy it for me as a graduation present

Muahahahahaha

Look I need all the financial gains I can get ok. Between tank, corals and soon college debt I’ll need to pay off everything helps!

Unless I go to school forever

I’m gonna cry!!!

So after turning on the lights Josh (one of the managers at my LFS) went about normal opening b.s. When he walked around back to where the eels tank was he found him on the ground!!!!!! He got him back in the tank. He is still alive. He is moving around but not like he was the last time I was in.

Josh wants to give it a week to make sure he is still eating. He won’t sell the eel to anyone else, my name is on it now and as long as he seems ok in a week he said he would sell him to me for $200. I got $60 for the nem

Bad news
Hes looking really stressed, looks like hes fighting for co2

Good news
Hes not in a tight ball. Thats usually them being done for.

He has a chance as long as he didnt land in any cleaning chemicals.
Glad they care enough to not just turn around and sell him. That’s why I think he wants to give it a week to make sure he is actually OK and eating again. So we’ll see crossing my fingers.

Edit. He doesn’t believe he was out of the water that long so that’s a good thing and I don’t think the ground has any cleaning chemicals on it.

I was in 7th grade, got home from school. My ribbon eel was on the carpet looking like dried jerky. My heart sunk. All of a sudden i saw a little movement. I picked him up and threw his butt back into his qt. Once he looked well, he was placed in the 55g. He never went carpet surfing again.
A few years later..
I lost him to chemical burn instead.

Theyre tough. Not against chemicals though

I would assume chemical burns would show up rather quickly if he did Landon any kind of cleaning stuff. His body looks fine no unusual markings or wouldn’t look like you know damage skin so crossing my finger still
