dstoneburg Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Could you please humanly freeze him rather then flush him into a slow and very disgusting death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 If I was closer I would take him, please keep him for a bit, Im sure someone local will want him. They are very fascinating creatures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner52 Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 ok i wont flush him and i guess ill hold on to him for awhile since it seems theres some interest i tried taking a picture of him but its really hard to get a decent pic of him hes about 1 - 1 1/2 inches long really dark colored almost black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 If I make the meeting this month I will pm you for info if you still have him, I have a tank ready for him already. If anyone else is interested please don't wait for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectra Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I would love to try one but am trying to downsize now. Plus I dont think it would get along with my cave dwelling fish to well. They would be a good snack I am sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringwurm Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I can provide temporary housing until Nyles can come up and get him. I work in Oregon city and should be able to stop by and pick him up. Send me a pm or email with the details. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 If this works out let me know, I will do my best to get up there for the meet so I can pick him up. I need to evict a clown but thats easy. Thanks Greg for the extra effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
