snowpunk Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 My tank still has a small amount of hair algae left in it so I went to buy a tang as a workhorse. Picked up a medium size blue eyed tang for $10 because it had some major scrapes and such on his skin. It was something that had been there for a few months and didn't show any signs of going away. Either way, not really the point, just some background on the fish. I get him home and get him in my tank and right away my eel is after him. This is really weird since the tang is much bigger then all of my fish already. This went on for a hour or so and I thought that would be the end of it. I got up at about 2:00 briefly and couldn't find him.(scratch) Probably in a hole somewhere or something. Got up this morning to find it headless:eek:, in the hole where the eel stays most of the time. Now I am kinda leery of putting anything else in but I am sure it was due to the fishes skin. I have had many fish put in the tank with the eel in there. Even a potters angel which is much smaller by far. The eel has never acted like that towards a new tank mate. My blue tang and him used to almost play together. The whole thing is just a little fishy if you ask me...(no pun intended) I guess I just had to vent a little and see what everyone had as thoughts to this. It is just a snowflake eel and he was just fed too. I just didn't expect this at all DOH!DOH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
