ouch 
Ive decided that im not getting him, as i dont want to get rid of my dollars and ther assorted monsters, id rather have a 180 full of fish than a 180 with just 1, especially when i already have a lungfish. 
Im spending the money on a group of cichla

So what's about the growup rate of electric eel.
How long will it take to grow one from 10" - 15" to 3'? thanks

ie heard not that fast.
0.5-1 inch per mth up til around 20 inches.
then slower.
im thinking it would take a few years to get to 3 feet.
I actually really like Electric eels - they don't half grow slowly too ...
They do develop a great character as they get bigger and become real pets - but I suppose are not the best of lookers - I'd have gone for the eel in a 180 bruce - it would have been fine in there for years
