How can I get a large Black Spotted Eel?

[RequiemTCE]

Hello, I made a post in the marketplace here,

http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/f...ed-Eel-quot-LARGE-25-inches-Portland-OR-97201

But I was wondering if any of you have had any experience with finding large exotic fish like this, and could possibly provide me with any insights? I don't mind paying a premium for it, I just can't figure out how I can get one.

Any information would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

get in touch with a distributor/importer who brings them in. A fish that size you'de be lucky to find. I bought by 2 as juvies for 15$ each. They have grown pretty fast, only slightly slower then my tire track and fire eels did. I've also only heard rumors of that size but never actually seen one or a picture with a reference to confirm they do get that size. BUt with the growth rate I'm seeing in mine I don't doubt they can hit 24" potentially.

It's going to be pretty hard to find a large one. You have to do it the old fashion way. Grow it up yourself. They usually have the smaller ones available. They come in mixed with the tire tracks usually. They grow fairly fast if you feed them fish fillet or live food. Good Luck.
