My eel died.

Although he was just a common bait fish, my American Eel, has died this morning. About 2 days ago, he jumped out of the tank on the 2nd floor. I found him on the 1st floor covered in dust/hair, not evening moving. I thought he was dead, but I put him in some water and he slowly came back to life. I put him back in the tank and he was breathign heavy, but he looked in bad condition, much of his sides were cut up. This morning I found him dead. He was my last monster I had, and I have had him since he was only 6in, and now, 7yrs later, he is 18in. It is a sad day.

Sorry for your loss, even though he was just bait fish he was still your friend.

He really was, whenever I put my face to the glass, he would come out of his little cave and put his eye to the glass. He would always swim in-between my fingers, ocassionally give one or to a lil nip, but he was my buddy.

If I can, that eel is becoming the topic of great debates to whether it should be put on the endangered species list.
