There was a coupon code that was working on MAP items last week. Not sure if it still works but there was a thread on here somewhere. had something to do with flea and tick yet worked on Radions or Red Sea Tanks. Code 15XRJAN
I didn't have any luck with that.........Rooting for the EEL.

No delays with the CUC order... I'll just never understand UPS logistics. Why send a package past me 130 miles only to bring it back, then do a circle around me?

Clearwater to Jacksonville
Jacksonville to Greensboro
Greensboro to West Columbia
West Columbia to Sumter
Then from Sumter to me tomorrow.

Schrodinger's eel...

I will say the box and the bag are absolutely HUGE. At least 2 gallons of water in it. No leaks in the bag. Plus the heat pack in the box still had a tiny bit of warmth. Its double or even triple bagged, so I'm about to remove the outer bags and see what we have.

I thought about making you sweat a little...

I cut off not one, not two, but SIX outer bags and 2 light blocking black plastic sleeves. Just to give you refrence of how big this bag is... that is a 10g tank it is sitting in. It takes up half of that tank.

I can't credit LADD enough for how well this eel was packaged.

That is impressive! And in this case, it was absolutely necessary.

That's a good looking eel. What kind of eel is that .
Golden dwarf moray. Gymnothorax melatremus

Their color varies from a dark orange with black spots, to a pale cream color with little to no spots. I saw the dotted pattern and bright yellow tail and I had to have this one.

The world seems a little more right now that you have an eel again. Does he get a skull in his tank?
