Re: [GSAS-Member] Vinegar Eels from the Auction?

["Clifford Miller" <clifford@clevergeek.com>]

I've had great luck with a smallish hot sauce bottle with a thin neck,
although I admit it doesn't look as cool as the flasks.

I just up-end the bottle into my fry tanks, and refill with water.  (I
tested the up-ending part over the sink several times first obviously...it
seems to hold very fast in my container, usually have to use hemostats to
take it out, since it's too hard to shake it loose).
