Go for the tesse! It will be much bigger & badder!

 

[sharkboy97]

tesse will be cool is this a 1 eel tank or will they be placed with fish

 

[dave_15]

its eel only
How big is that tesse and what tank size is he in?
Love it!

 

[escape2thewater]

He is about 30" long now. Ive had him for maybe 8 or 9 months or so. He is growing so fast! I think he was a little mal-nourished when I got him b/c he was very skinny and never stopped eating. Well he fattened back up pretty quick but still has never stopped eating! He is currently in a 75g tank, yes I know it is way too small for the long run but I plan to upgrade to a 125 long for him sometime next year.

HEY DAVE!! check out the classified section...this one guy is selling his tessalata!!

 

[pitbull01]

36 inches long...250.00

 

[dave_15]

when i went to my Lfs they had a 14in for 45.00! Now thats a great deal

 

[pitbull01]

WOW!! Did u buy it?

 

[dave_15]

no too bad it was like 3 months ago

 

[pitbull01]

o-did u check out the one in the classifieds though?

 

[dave_15]

still cant find it wats the thread called....i heard that my lfs is getting new livestock this thursday and i should call them because they will probably have a zebra and tesse for around $40-60 each

 

[pitbull01]

It is called Tessalata Eel for sale. It is on the 1st page of the classifieds forum.

 

[dave_15]

ok thanks....i think im going to get them from my Lfs they are cheaper, smaller (since my tank isnt that big for a big one) and they are healthy where i go....its also too far

 

[pitbull01]

yeah...good idea. Just thought u might like to know....be SURE to post pics when you get 'em. By the way, when you get both, get either them both at the same time or the zebra first otherwise the tessa will rip the friggin snot out of the zebra.

 

[dave_15]

when i first got my snowflakes the little one went after the bigger one and i didnt know what to do.....lol now they are like brothers

 

[pitbull01]

those were snowflakes-no ur talking a very peaceful eel and a sometimes very aggressive eel-very different personalities, therefore it is crucial that you either add the zebra first and let him get settled or buy them both at the same time.

 

[dave_15]

ok thanks everyone

Thanks,
Heres a crappy full tank shot, as you can see he likes to move the sand all over the rocks and everything else. My eel is a slob!
