Heh, eventually. But he seems to be enjoying it down there. Plus the vitamin C treatments I have been giving the tank is boosting his already steel immune system. Like I said this fish will live forever.

Well if my husband is anywhere in the state I make him kill them so I don't have to. Seriously, I am like the cartoons of the women standing on the stool, screaming holding her dress.
Anyways one day I couldn't get my husband to answer the phone so I had to remove one myself because I be darned if I was going to just wait and the frickin thing run under my sofa and lay eggs or something. *shutters* So I went and got my broom and struck the spider one good time (mind you he was the size of a dinner plate....ok ok maybe a tea cup...er shot glass) Anyways, I molly-whopped him good and managed to finagle the broom to lift him up off of the floor. Well I was scared he would come to and crawl up the broom stick and bite my arm so I was looking around for something to throw him in.
The closest thing was my lion fish tank, and at that time that stupid wrasse was still in there. I rotated my body around (it was some gymnast/matrix stuff) and opened the top of the tank, then did the little rotate again and tossed the spider into the tank. Well he was semi-coherent by then so has was doing that little "I'm a spider I can float on water thing", when all of a sudden, SNAP!!, that dumb wrasse snatched him, drug him under the water, beat him against a rock then swallowed him whole. This was a fine day in the Chin house-hold. :D


That was a very interesting little story and sounds like me, although we dont have those nasty huge spiders up here. I hate bugs also(i freak out when i see a thousand legger thing running around on the wall), although my boyfriend does throw little bugs into our tanks on occasion and our puffers enjoy them. :D
