i guess a blue ring would be ok to have if you NEVER had to put your hand in the tank, and never had to p/u the dead carcasses of crabs and fish..............................its just to risky for me specialy with small kids in the house

Imagine this:
Your tank is next to you bed.
You say goodnight to your Bluering.
You fall asleep and are lost in a peaceful slumber.
You bought your BR on impulse and know nothing about them (so you dont make sure he cant escape)
He gets out.
lands on the floor.
crawls up your bed.
gets on top of you.
delivers his nearly painless bite......
p.s- I just saw on Discover channel that an octopus got out of his tank crawl up another one and take a crab. Im sure this would never really happen, but i was really bored.

mac you must live really close to me i go to that crummy place i hate the service ther and also over priced tongs tropical fish whitter blv.
Hey fish,
Yeah I hear ya about the service. Its like if you ask them a question then they kinda don't want to deal with you...
I just don't like being looked up and down. Crappy thing is that I bought my system from them, you'd think that would account for something.
Guess the crappy service is doing well for the owner and his new H2 Hummer though :rolleye1:
Just my 2c

I'm not sure where you guys are getting all this blindness and hard to breath crud on blue rings. If you get bit, not touched, it has a nerotoxin in it's saliva that targets the nervious system. It will send you into repratory ARREST (not hard to breath, IMPOSSIBLE) and paralysis with-in 3 minutes. From there you will slowly fade away and suffocate. You will reamain perfectly consious with your eys open and your mouth agape for about 3 to 5 minutes untill you die. The only way to twart this demise is about 12 to 24 hours of artificial resporation, and heart massage untill the toxin is worked out of the system. Oh and the BLue Ring has enough of this to kill 26 human adults. Cool huh!

From BarrierReefAustralia.com on blue-rings:
Carries enough poison to kill 26 adults within minutes.
The victim might be saved if artificial respiration starts before marked cyanosis and hypotension develops.
The only treatment is hours of heart massage and artificial respiration until the poison has worked its way out of your system.
Mouth to mouth resuscitation can keep the victim alive and the poison gradually wears off after 24 hrs, apparently leaving no side effects.
Within 3 minutes, paralysis sets in and your body goes into respiratory arrest.
Though with fixed dilated pupils, the senses of the patients are often intact. The victims are aware but unable to respond.
I smell plagiarism!
