I think I am seriously addicted to my new Salt habit. I started my first Salt tank during Christmas 05' and since have become a junkie!
I could sit and feed and photo my fish every minute. Lately I have developed a serious mental condition with my eels. I can't get enough.....
Think there is a place for a person like me...some kind of rehab maybe? Cold Turkey from LFS and web surfing.....

Once my Golden is big enough to get food in the 240g a Japanese Dragon is on the shopping list. He will have a 75g all to himself, and maybe some damsels for activity/food.

It's actually a 4-5 yr old Sony Cybershot I am considering upgrading this Xmas...I think it is a 4 or 6M. Kind of way behind in technology.

I love Tessy's but they are too big and limit a huge tank to a species only. Considered one in my 240 but decided to stock instead. Nope I have set my sights on the prize!
**Japanese DME one day**
hmm when is that fishing trip??? need a real reason to come see those tanks again... the tanks the fish ooooo giggity

Great eels.
MY LFS had a Japanese Dragon Eel a while ago. Those things are damn pricey!

Depends, after a heavy feeding they sit in their hiding spot with 1/4 to 1/2 of their body sticking through a hole looking out at you.
When they get read to eat they are everywhere (Up / down, back and forth, all through and over the rocks).
And other times they are in the middle. They move around all day but stay mostly out of full body sight except when moving from one cave to another. But they are ALWAYS interested in what your doing outside the tank. Mine all three watch me everytime I walk by or stand in front of the tanks.

You cant possibly get help getting over your fish addiction in a fish addicted forum.
