Where is my eel?

[KathyC]

Any nearby holes in the flooring where cable wires pass through?

He has to be somewhere...

was there a shoe near by? u wouldnt want to put your foot in it and squeeze the eel.

I hate to say this, but if you have looked in the sump,overflows, tubings, hoses, live rock, sand, all around the tank, stand, under all the pieces of furnitute in the room, looked for holes in the floor & walls, any nearby closets, baskets, and you still have had no luck finding it. That only leaves your room mates. It is not all that hard to catch an eel in a tank. I pray this is not what happened, and it is still in the tank hiding inside a rock.
When ever any of my eels escaped I have always found them by their tank, overflow box, or in the sump, except of course for the poor ribbon that got sucked into my Iwaki pump.

Totally agree with Awilda. If you've checked all over to no avail, I'd check with your mates.....

How big is the tank it's in? Did you check drain hoses/pump intakes/standpipes? I've had a wrasse end up stuck in the hose between the tank/sump that I had to cut out (fun times). Also could be curled up in a big rock...otherwise check your roommates.
