Been raising 4 (10"-18") Polyuranodons for the last 6-8 months. As everyone knows, it's essential to keep a tight tank cover while covering ALL holes. I thought I did a great job with weights and used rolled up pieces of silicone to snugly cover up these holes. Apparently I suck!
At 6:20am this Saturaday, as I was getting ready for work, I noticed a long dark piece of brown stuff on the floor behind my aquarium. Damn! It looked like it was probably out for a long time! I had 10min before being late for work, so I grabbed some gloves, I picked it up and decided to place it in my room temperature (65F) bucket of water leftover from my water change the day before. After 5 minutes, I noticed a subtle twinge of it's neck. I picked it up and noticed its typical deep breathing. Placed it back into the tank, it started moving its whole body, and latched onto one of my pvc pipes. It's whole body (except it's face) is covered in white layer of damaged slime coat. It was my 2nd largest eel, 2nd favorite. Breathing well, I went to work.
