Always a pleasure to go shopping with my wife; I can sit in the car and watch your vids while she spends our meagre income on silly things like food and clothing. Internet at home is way too slow for such luxurious viewing; I look forward to ice fishing season because there is great cell service out on the ice and I get to catch up on a lot of your stuff there. These eels are one of my favourites among the fish species you keep. :)

And..."18 minutes of therapeutic entropy"?

Best. Title. Ever. :thumbsup:

I watch Victor's videos while doing exercise.

I don't think it was the wyckii. I believe the she eel is either sick or wants to go to the ocean to breed and die.

One more eel has been moved because of the bullying. One is lost, the one that had been struggling, not eating. 28 nches. Age unknown. So 4/5 remain.

IIRC the eels do not exhibit sexual dimorphism but by size it is one of the bigger ones, which I assumed might be females but without knowledge.

The floor tiles?? Called Mexican tile, clay, hand made and dried in the streets so they have some dog prints on them here and there. Used to be hot 20-30 years ago :) Came with the house - all floors over 8000 sq ft covered with it :)

The worst offender is found. Unfortunately at the expense of a eel.

So 3 for 5. IDK why but I thought they were incredibly tough fish. It doesn't look like it.
