Listed on CL for $100 2 foot long fire eel, would get it myself but already have a 26" fire Eel in my tank, do not want to cause problems.

Talked to the owner by phone a few minutes ago,said he still had it and was nice and fat. Also told him about MFK so he could list it himself
 
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine, mine comes to the front of the tank sometimes and dances to get my attention. He eats out of my hand, along with the silver dollars and iredesent.
 
haha you all are going to be very jealous, the fire eel is actually 27" long and about as round as a baseball

he is a monster
 
How about some pictures if you can. I thought about getting him for myself but read in a few articles more than one in a tank can be trouble.Mine would probably grow faster but I think the girl taht takes care of my critters does not feed him as much as I do, he gets from 3-6 nightcrawlers a day when I'm home, depending on how much he wants and how many the silver dollars steal.
Glad you got him,what size tank do you have for him?
Told the guy who had him he would not last long on MFK at that price.
Here are a few pictures of my tank

any plecos in the pond?
I had to choose between my plecos and my eels. I caught the plecos eating the slime coat off the eels. had a 12" marble sailfin, he was a great looking fish.
 
With a little time you should have him coming to the surface and coming out of the water an inch or so toet food from you.
