New reefer with a 3ft honeycomb eel problem

[newkarian]

Hey all I recently entered this hobby after purchasing a divorce sale that came with a 200gal tank with some fish and a 3ft honeycomb eel. Also a 80gal tank setup that was broken down unused. I got the 80gal setup nicely and now it's time to move the 200gal. Have all the fish in the 80gal but the eel they dropped off today. I don't want to put him in the 80gal as it has already eaten alot of their fish. Anybody I'm need of one? He's living in a 5 gal bucket currently until my rodi makes the water for keeping him in a storage tote for now until I can figure out where to put him. I understand you have to be a member for a month for trades or sell but I'm just trying to get him saved. Last night I did a water change on my yank and filled his bucket up. Have him with a airstone.

Have you spoke to one of your local fish store to trade the eel?

As someone mentioned I would try LFS or try posting online I’m sure someone will be interested it’s a good looking eel!

Well no leads so let's see if he can. Make it till I get that 200gal up. Starting cleaning it Saturday. Here's his temporary home I made him today using half rodi water mixed with salt and two buckets from my 80gal water change..also rocks from my

sump

Start a new thread in the predator fish section. The only response you will get here is a welcome emoji.

Welcome to the Reef
Nice problem to have, I'd definitely trade him at your local fish store.

Welcome!! I would post in other sub forums as mentioned to hopefully get help to house him till you're ready for him.
