How much would a say 8-11 inch fire eel go for. I know it depends on the area and if theyre easily available or not. Thanks
 
$50...80?Just depends on the quality of the fish. I can find them cheap but at a small size. My lfs sales them at 79.99 and they are anywhere from 10-15 inches just depends on how they come in. 6-9 inches at 59.99 but I've seen small ones 4-5 inches for 29.99
 
the reason askin is because my lfs has had this one that is 8-11 inches for the past 3 months. My peacock eel commited suicide last night, jumped right out the tank. So i went up there and told em whats the best they could do, they said 75. Well i didnt have but 70 and they said ok. I'll post a pic when he settles in 2night. And yes the tank is well secured now.
 
Not a bad deal. Amazing "eel", I have a couple and they are very active. Takes them sometime to get used to the tank but once their comfortable they swim all over the tank. Great addition.
 
They had a snowflake eel at another lfs i went to for 20, but he didnt look to well. He was almost straight black. The guy said that he was the only "true" freshwater moray eel. Ive heard very little on this subject so i decided to stay away from that deal.
