You can guess the rest...

[ice]

No way!? Is he alright? I heard they are bloody tough and rehydrate well after a floor adventure...

[Jules]

Doesn't take much for eels to jump........

 

Is he at least still alive?

[malawiman85]

Yeah he's ok.
I nearly had a stroke when I saw the idiot on the floor. I don't think he'd been there long, he was still damp and slimy, no crispyness.

Time to get out the duct tape I reckon

[Jules]

Thank god he's ok, especially for your sake too (couldn't think of much worse then spending that kind of money to lose it less than 12 hours later)

 

You can get this single sided adhesive roll padding stuff at Bunnings (about 10mm thick), I think you use it to stick to undersides of doors etc to stop drafts coming through.

I have used it myself for bichir tanks to pad in and block off small spaces, either way, any opening will be investigated by the creature and tempting for them to test

awesome eel, anyone received their orders from katies aquariums? 

[malawiman85]

Nope

[Stretch]

Not yet

[malawiman85]

Just did a water change and had a nanna nap on the couch. Woke up to water dripping on me.
I forgot to put lids back on the tank and my archer was spitting at me.
Was hitting me in the face from 4 feet away. I love oddball fish and archers are one of the best!

Hows the eel? Post up some more pics!

[Stretch]

Finally got my answer from Katie's aquariums. She refunded my money and said wa fisheries wouldn't allow bullrout or sooties into wa as they pose a threat through deliberate release. Bugger

[ice]

What a load of crap, how to AI and livefish get them through if that's the case?

[Stretch]

Yep. I think I was her first WA order and she's a bit nervous. I'll look
into it some more

[malawiman85]

Refunded my order too.

[Jules]

there where 4 small bull routs on gumtree the other day, think 80 bucks a pop
