Posted in Grims due to what was said on this eel>
Amanda, I Have a thought to what had been the Jewel moray situation for one thing it was however under a great amount of stress due too being at that lfs. One of my thoughts in this matter is, if this trip was more then a few hours or so it should had been packed for this trip a head of time in the same method as being shipped to the lfs`s.
Like I moved 1.5 yrs ago, that before the tanks were moved I removed the eels in buckets and Jeff at the lfs said he wouldn't do that for reasons of a lack of oxygen but my trip was anywhere from 45-70 minutes at most.
Amanda, being that your trip took much longer and on top of it, the jewel did how stress due to its predicament at that lfs and the transportation. Do note that eels tend not to appear so over stressed.
It is a wonder how that lfs remains in business and also I not know how large the jewel eel was, but you people should had had a battery oxygen pump for do keep in mind that eels in general demand a great deal of oxygen. And im sure if any next time, you people will be aware of this main factor for I not believe that what injuries the jewel had received was the caused for its death, but its situation as mention at that lfs has placed much stress on the eel.
From most of what was said of this eels situation, what is here was not mention however, but even that, if anyone was to put an eel through as much stress as that Jewel moray, it would not surprise me that it up and dies for people had heard me say that eels can deal with a lot, but this eel had been through living hell prior to its being in transit, so even that it did have enough oxygen, the eel was in no condition to gone through being transported so soon for if you (AW) were on any speaking terms with me and called me, I would had told you this.
It is always inadvisable to transport any marine species under such stress at so soon after for it needed time to regain its strength before being in transport. So this AW is just another lesson learn due to trail and error.
