Fire eel question…

Indeed he is!Yessssss...he's thinkin' about it...
ATM the seller seems to not want it to go into “another” 125 gal, even though they only stipulated “tank must be 6’ minimum” in the for sale post.
Being the honest bloke that I am, I won’t BS and promise it would end up in the big tank to push the sale thru, though the way I like to move things around that reality is very likely.
Communication has been vague. Waiting on a reply to a direct question, “will you sell it to me?”
I travel home to visit my parents in Australia for a week, leaving March 18, so perhaps the seller will be more inclined if he still has it upon my return
Update; so the seller has officially declined to sell the fire eel to me to put in my 125g. He insists that it goes into a 180g minimum
The video he sent me shows it looking uncramped and moving about freely in his 125g. I guess I should be happy he wants a better life for it than the one he feels he’s giving it.
TBH I could put it straight into the 500g w the moba for now, and move the moba over to the 125 after I get back from Australia in 3 weeks. After all the water param’s are the same in both tanks
But alas, since I have never kept a FE before I think I’m gonna be patient and wait. Last time I went to Australia we had a breaker trip and I lost about $1.5K worth of predator haps. I can do without coming home to an unexpected situation w a known predator I have never kept before.
I have plans to empty the 500g, buff the front viewing panel inside & out, and move it to a different wall in our basement. If he fire eel is still available when I am “ready” for it, I will buy it then. At least I know the seller isn’t gonna let it go easily
