Always wanted a big fire eel and walked in to a shop yesterday to see this monster crammed into a 40 gallon tank. Apparently the shop has had him before and was retUrned several times. Have him in my 150 loach tank for now and will try to upgrade asap. IMG_20180901_155750_696.jpg IMG_20180901_142458.jpg IMG_20180901_142445.jpg

Now that thing is a beauty, I can't believe people would try to take him knowing he was too big. Let me guess, the store said he was free as long as you didn't bring him back? :p.
Also nice wooden carved angelfish on the left of the 2nd picture.

Haha had to pay a small amount but couldn't leave the poor guy in a tiny tank.

Got a whole under water theme on the tank haha
 
Do you happen to know how big he is at the moment currently?

Not measured yet but must be well over 2 ft. And about 10 inch thick

I'm going to assume you mean 1 inch thick lol. If he really is 10 inches thick then you gotta show it next to a tape measure :p

Oh I had thought you were hinting that his tank wasn't big enough for it, I misunderstood what you were going for :p. And yep, it's a big beautiful fiery baby :D
