Very cool eel!!

I couldn't be more sorry! I wonder what went wrong. How long had you had him at home? Sounds like the poor guy wasn't right from the lfs.

I don't know what went wrong myself, he'd only been here just over 2 hours

if it was to do with my water would it have killed him that quickly? (saying that... I only cleaned the tank on Thursday so the water can't be THAT bad)

EDIT
I just remembered he got really stressed when they tried catching him, then it was a 1 hour bumpy car ride home. Could the stress from the capture and journey have done it?

 

[jams.alaskan]

You bet it can... If he were mine I'd contact the lfs and ask for a replacement but make darn sure that your tank was ok first
Again, I'm so sorry...

I'm so sorry I'd call the lfs too

 

[waterwatereverywhere]

I'm sorry that's really sad. He looked lovely

Definitely worth telling the lfs though, I agree.

 

[Dwarfs]

Are they brackish or fresh? So sorry to hear what happened

 

[Arashi]

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about your eel. He looked very sweet though.

I thought they were brackish, but I could be mistaken...

 

[ladynaoko]

I asked the lfs and they told me it was fresh.
I swear, I must have asked that guy about 50 questions before handing my money over.

Sorry about the incident ladynaoko, I had owned 3 spiny eels but they all died on me, 1 because I didn't know cycling, 2 because It was bought sick and 3 because we had a blackout. Spiny eels (peacock especially) are very weak fish.
