Here are some pictures of my rather large Angler, and his friend a Zebra moray eel. My son decided that this tank would be "The Family Guy" tank, and as such all livestock is named after Family Guy characters.
So I give you Quagmire the Angler, and Cleveland the Eel.
Will post some video links that have him and the eel in it in a few.
Links to the eating videos. There are shot in HD, but it is not great video since the window was reflecting so much. You can get a great feel for how fast anglers strike, and see him using his lure. Also if there was a question over if anglers and zebra moray get along, this should answer that one too!
Well not sure about great (quality wise), but we sure had fun making them. My eel "Cleveland" is a great fish. He is really tame, will eat from my hand now, and is really well behaved. As eels go I would recommend them over snowflakes any day!
Sweeet Fish! That guy looks like one I kept for years. It was easily one of the most interesting fish I have had to date. Your making me Jones for another one!
Yeah I looked for about a year before I found the right one. It is really difficult to find them this size, in good health, that are eating like champs. This guy is an eater, he will not only frozen, but he will eat pellets! Ever hear of an Angler eating pellets?? Got what I think is a great price on him too!
Even better when you know that my 6 year old son named them! Yeah his mom has given me some serious grief about him watching Family Guy, but hey, at this point he has seen them all so not much I can do now.
Cool vids. makes me even more anxious to start my salt tank. right now i got a 20 gal fresh, but my buddy id selling me his 105 gal that will be my salt tank. what kind of eel is that? are they pretty compatible with most other fish?
just noticed your out of chicago too, im just south of you no point to saying that other then something i noticed
Aint nothing wrong with the family guy, my kids have been glued to it since birth really.
The angler, doesnt that thing have hands/feet? I see it gripping or "handling" the rock alot.
Love the eel, reminds me of my old snowflakes at feeding time, get a little over zealous and go for its tank mates. My snowflakes were very tame and hand fed till one day when ren bit stimpy in half.
Cleveland the eel is pretty calm actually, he will eat from my hand and just kinda does his eel thing. Quagmire the Angler will "walk" at least as much as he swims...he is really a weird fish.
