Shipment Water Question
Short version: Lots of bag water from an eel got into my 150 gallon (160ish actual water with sump) tank. It came from live aquaria, am I at a big risk here? Its a fowlr thats been running for over a year.
So the perfect storm happened. Hard to get eel wait list went off, had a work function, and UPS delivery was late. I told my daughter to simply float the eel until I got home unless it looked like it was freaking out in the bag (been in a UPS truck all day) in which case she could open the bag in the styrofoam container and net him directly into the tank. My daughters 11 and claims that was happening but when she got him in she also ended up getting most all the shipping water in too. I've been fortunate not to have ick in this tank but wanted to ask what risk I was at from those who have done this. |

Wow. I’m impressed an 11 year old would mess with an eel. My 12 year old son wouldn’t go near it. I would not worry about it. Especially because it’s a fish only system. You will be fine.
