Funny Story

[scubaguy]

I thought I would share this story with you all. I got home in the morning and my wife told me about her feeding my new 125 inhabitants(Large Hermit, DogFace Puffer, and a snowflake eel) . My wife is a loving soul and she loves all animals and fish. We have a big hermit crab that she can reach her hand down and feed him(She has always done this in our 35). She told me that is what she was doing yesterday morning. She had some shrimp and wanted to feed our hermit crab. She reached her hand down in the tank holding on to the shrimp and BAM Out comes our new snowflake eel quicker than she could get her hand out of the water. She said he scared the crap out of her, he was very hungry and bit her. He is still small so there was no damage to the eel

I had told my kids to not stick thier hands in the tank because of the eel, I did not think of telling someone who was raised around the ocean (Florida)not to

To say the least I do not think that my wife will be trying to feed anyone again by hand in our big tank .

LOL thats funny. I kinda did something like that one time not paying attention. I have a huge and I do mean huge CBS and i was moving some rock around and I was watching everyone making sure no one gets in the way totally forgetting about this guy. I stuck my hand back in the back of the tank and he latched on. I just pulled my hand out of the tank so fast I sent him flying across the floor

. My kids saw this happen and to this day I cant even get my 16 yr old to help me if it comes to sticking hands in the water.

No she made me feed him today. He is quick and he does go crazy when food is put in the water. Nothing is safe from him, I heard that they have poor eye sight and they do. He attacked everything to see if that was food or not.

You are not kidding about that. I put food in the water iand in about ten seconds he is all over the tank. I today gave him two big silver sides, not because he was real hungry. THE LONGER IT IS THE MORE TIME I HAVE TO GET MY HAND OUT OF THE WAY I do need to get a feeding stick soon.
