The fact is he is gonig to know that its not the same fish. So, your going to have to tell him that the fish he loved and raised is dead, and he's gonna have to deal with that.......

The fact you are actively looking for a replacement is good, and I am sure he'll appreciate that.

But ...and here is a big BUT..... the irony of keeping a large fish such as the Tessalata is that once you buy one, typically you are stuck with it, and while you would never WANT to get rid of it, sometimes you see different fish and think "IF" I ever get the chance to do it again, I think I'll try one of those instead.....

My point is this, your husband may well want to go out and buy another Tessalata...... but there is equally as much chance that he might fancy a change - because some things cannot be just replaced..... the void they create can be filled, but they cannot be "replaced".

My pride and joy is my emperor angel. He's doubled in size, half way through his colour, and I would not trade or swap him for the world..... but (God forbid) if he died under any circumstance, I would probably go for a different angelfish.... maybe a queen or a maculosus or a passer........ and while I do not wish it to come about (you would not belive te things I have donefor my emperor) if it did come about, I would get something else..... even though the emporer angel would remain my favourite!

HTH

I agree. I had a V. Lionfish and it suddenly stopped eating frozen, fresh, everything. He never got skinny and I loved that fish, he died a few days ago and he was my centerpiece fish, but he also kept me from adding other fish because of what he was. Now that he is gone I am going to try something else, not because I don't like lions, they are one of the coolest fish out there but just to get something different like a trigger because before I didnt want to mix those two. So now I am going to try something different

Tell your husband that nothing lives forever and the eel got out and died. The truth is always best in the long run.

If he's that upset, he needs some serious help.

Yeah, eels have a habit of doing that. I had a small tessalata that did the same thing. If one of mine died I would just want the truth.
