It's been a fishy night. I bought a salmon (whole) at wally world last week. Tonight I cooked it and my J-Group came to my apartment and ate it. Lemon, dill, a little butter... was very good.
Went to Steak and Shake (surprise, surprise). When I went to pay, the manager looked at me and said, "You're in here more than I am!" He gave me a big discount! I love that place. I've been there three times in the past six days. It would've been four, but they closed at 9:30pm on Wednesday night for Thanksgiving.
After that, I went to Jason Adkins's apartment. He has a 150 gallon saltwater fish tank. It's captivating. I sat an watched it for a little over an hour. Then, I worked on cleaning it a bit. The best part was feeding the fish. Most of the fish eat plankton. Basically you just pour that stuff in the tank and they scurry around to eat it up. There's an eel named Santa. Santa, the two anemone, and the serpant star eat whole shrimp. With the anemone and the serpent star, you can just hold a piece of shrimp next to them and the tentacles will catch on and pull it in. Santa is a different story.
While the eel is "non-venomous", there is enough bacteria in its mouth that if he bit you, you would have to make a trip to the hospital to get a shot. You feed him by putting a shrimp on a toothpick and holding it in the water. Normally, Santa will swim up and meet you about halfway to get the shrimp. I don't think he was feeling well today cause he wouldn't come out of his hiding spot very far. In order for me to get him to eat, I had to stick the shrimp down in front of his hole. Let me tell you, it's a little unnerving to be almost shoulder deep in salt water, holding a shrimp on the end of a toothpick, and hoping that this eel (who has killed a shark and a ray) doesn't bite you. It all worked out though. All's well and that ends well.
However, it would be kind of unique to say you were bitten by an eel and had to go to the ER for antibiotics.
