Fire eel got tagged

[Fatlungy]

I honestly don't think she is gonna make it, shes hiding out and now not using her right fin now.

More active this morning, wound does not look like it is healing though.

Poor Eel. I've never had a fish get stung by my rays but my former boss got stung. He was cleaning his tank and the ray got him. He had a tomato on his hand for a while. Still has a scar and that was 16 years ago.

2 weeks today, wound is starting to heal. She's acting normal, always hungry!

that's good news. I worry about my 14" Endlicheri getting hit by my rays.

I talked to a member that had a bicher get hit in a similar way and he said it took a month for it to pass away, so far so good with the eel.

Glad to see that the old gal seems tp be pulling through.I know how highly you regard her and I think she is the biggest known file eel around MFK.

How it pulls through, how big is the eel Fatlungy ?

Close to 40" I'd say, she barely squeezes in a 4" pvc pipe. The deepest part of the wound looks bad but it's starting to close on the ends. Acting normal again and eating like a pig.
