Not sure why I didn't think to put these up. They are a few weeks old but are some of the best pictures I've got of him. The last two pictures are my bigger 12" eel next to a very thin 8-9" eel I picked up from my LFS.
It's like he all of the sudden fell in love with the camera tonight! Here are some awesome shots of him...finally:
This is after he at tonight, so a bit of that bulge is newly eaten food, but still...I think these pictures do a good job of showing his incredible girth.
Again, both of the eels in the fifth picture above are the same length. That picture does a really good job at showing how much more massive the bigger one is.
Great poses! The last series really shows his dorsal spines and color to great effect.
Huge difference in sheer mass between those two. Glad to see the little one is eating well and putting on weight. How's long do you figure it will take him to catch up?
