Took this pic today at my local aquarium(St Andrews in Fife; most famous for golfing); it's a pretty crappy aquarium, but they do have a good selection of 'local' sea fish as well as the usual reef fish(they also have an 'Amazon' exhibit with Giant gourami ? And a cichlid tank with blood Parrots, Midas and C.Moori ? Pirhanas in with Cons ?; but this is a whole different thread :confused: ). Anyway this particular species is pretty common around here although not pretty;certainly impressive; the Conger Eel(Conger Oceanicus); gets up to 2.5m in TL and around 40Kg....

To give you some idea of the size of this secimen I stood next to it...I am 5' 10"

Monster eel!:)
 
ming, it's a conger eel not an american eel :D

I like congers, I once saw a massive one in france. I'm sure it was more than 2.5 metres.
 
Cool, do you live in St Andrews? I live in Monifieth... I went to that place again pretty recently actually.. suppose its alright but nothing compared to the aguarium in Edingburgh
 
wow i want
 
Monsoon. I live in Leven, a town around 20 miles south of St Andrews. Is the aquarium in Edinburgh at the Zoo, or do you mean 'Deep Sea World' in S. Queensferry which I have visited and is better than St Andrews Aqu. ?
 
Oh man that thing is sweeeeet and huge!!!!!!!!:WHOA: :WHOA:
