Well, that would be up to him, but he could been somewhat of a better understanding then exploding and only showing anger with telling me he knows of water currents, LR and such but he not needed to say it in the attitude he did it in for I not idea of any other persons background experiences in this hobby For I am still at this time with high blood pressure and now because of his outburst, it forces me to make a decision because i have to loom after my health for these people are most are never considered to other peoples feelings and I no wish to have my life cut short then it will be because of not wishing to explain matters in a more friendlier way.
It as well makes me feel that with most people it not worth going so out of my way for know this, I not need to be here, for yes, I could and will at some time have a question, but at most I always after my 12th or 15th year in this done rather well but I am as well moving into slightly different area of corals. I not had any tanks crash or a major ich outbreak. The thing is, there is more yet for people in having eels for I said much on what those things are.
Nothing has ever made it worth my while to had started in a forum not even ten years ago for I look back and see people where most the time always the same for I believe that boalgf after i explained that he could had said what he did in a much better tone for as well, I think in all the years I been in any forum, I only thus far asked about three question I think and they weren't anything like info on a fish or so.
I am feeling so far much emotions to what happen and I am back because of this day to either simply quit trying to assist anyone with anything or just as I said, only the eels name and size for I have to feel that things like this will always accure and im wondering if it only because of some misunderstandings because I have always meant well and can no longer place trust in people that they do want to hear what I too say on any moray species and in their aquarium requirements and as well, I never make assume anything with in moray species for which if I not know the answer, I would had said so.
And I have to guess that boalgf not understood that I need somewhat better image photos then he took, for I see in the pics here that the eel looks to me as if one took the negative print and paste it and trust me boalgf when I tell you, I not see the image as that well when darken out or so and I am not trying to be insulting but all of what you had shown at the end, was no appreciation for the time I giving you.
I really wish you done that different
And im sorry that you took it all so wrong.

oh my god boalgf....nice eels......man let me be the first and tell you i think it is a GREAT idea that you are expiermenting with the zebra , spotted, and the hookjaw all togehter....... hey i have a tessa, a zebra, and a resticulated all together.....they are loving life...no fights....noprobs at all... i guess there is always a chance.....but i am glad your taking a chance.....i hope it works out......hey man your pictures are not that bad.....if i had had a 10,000 mexapixel camera my pictures would look better too.....but they do not so oh well...i think you did a decent job......(oh before i get flamed by 18 people who have nothing better to do.........the 10,000megapixel thing was a joke)

Hey Doc: I've seen your set up, very nice. It's nice having different looking eels together. My zebra has been around fish so long, I think he's forgotten what it's like to be an eel. So he's very inactive.
DME: I hope you are feeling better today. I never hold grudges and would like to remain on good terms. From now on it might serve you better to ask what a persons experience is. Also, when you state your point you should leave it at that. It didn't bother me that you told me your views, I actually appreciate that. What bothered me is that you wouldn't stop stating your views. Even after I had read them, understood them, and replied to them. Sometimes it just sounds like a broken record. I definitely want the eel, but I am wary about what I'll have to go through to get it. If I have to go through hell and high water (like in this post) to get it, then I'd rather look elsewhere. If you could tell me a price and let me know if he can get it, that would be great. We can talk about it, maybe meet up when he gets it in. I'm very open to that idea.
Also, I always take note of what people say and incorporate it in to my decisions. However in this case it seems we don't personally know anyone who has ever even owned a spotted or reticulate hookjaw moray. So I think I am going to take the chance and see how it works out.

sounds good to me......trial and error.....my friend.......my best advice is to get them all off live food before you decide to put the hook jaw in there....you know.....tone down the aggresion a bit....wehn i first got my tessa, he really was all about malling anything living....until i started feeding him froxen foods and fresh cut sea food from publix........well good luck man

Off live food... Kinda takes away from why I like them so much.
So far only one of the 2 will eat frozen food. I've found a bait and tackle shop that sells live silversides. So much more fun to watch them eat those. Though knowing they will eat prepared foods does make it easier when I run out of live.

Not a chance mister. I haven't left the front of the glass for more than an hour since I got them. This whole, "feed them once a week" thing is going to be hard to follow. They are always ready for more meat. All I have to do is walk towards the glass and they start swimming. No wonder you and others have eel only tanks. They are so worth it. Also, you were dead on about them needing their own tank (no fish). They are hateful little monsters and I love every minute of it. One of them loves wrapping around the powerhead so that he is in the direct waterflow. Looks like something you'd put in a post card.
