Strange thing that happened to me tonight.... - Aquarium Advice

Lonewolfblue · 12-01-2006, 02:28 AM

Has anyone ever been slapped in the face by one of your fish? lol.....

Here's what happened. I was just feeding my eel bloodworms. I pour the melted cubes down a 1 3/4" tube which reaches the bottom of the tank. I do this so the bloodworms don't scatter all over the place. Usually my eel will go up the tube, and eat the bloodworms before they reach the bottom, lol. But today, the Albino Rainbow Shark, 4"+ decided to go up the tube, lol. And found he couldn't turn around, lol. So what did he do? He rocketed up the tube and smacked me in the middle of the face and landed on the floor, lol. Never expected that, lol.

LWB, is that the same eel that bit you a while back?? Man, it is getting bad if you need Personal Protective Equipment to feed fish. Perhaps you can find some good 'lightly' used body armor on ebay. Or maybe a visit from the Fish Whisperer??

P.S. Glad you and the fish are okay, and no blood this time.

LOL, that's the eel I was feeding, lol.

Attention fish keepers, you need to order the following items before feeding your fish....
Safety Goggles at the bare minimum, preferably a full-face shield, lol....

That's the funniest story, LWB! What are the odds of that happening? LOL

I hope you're both ok after that ordeal!

I wonder if the shark will shy away from the tube now!
