Congrats! From where?

I was lucky and found them in the same shop from Hong Kong where i got my other one from...

They told me the fish distributor brought a total of 6 in, this store got 4 and the other 2 went somewhere else...

So either someone is breeding them somewhere??? Or there has been suddenly a very high demand for these eels, since its almost once every 2-4 weeks im seeing a new shipment of these guys...

This now being the 3rd shipment in the last few months...

How much they costs in USD?? 10" costs $90, 15" $120, 30+ around $800 in the US.

 

[Fat Homer]

The first one i got i paid approx USD $75 for a 15-16" eel...

2nd one cost me approx USD $100 for a 12" eel

Then these two new guys both approx 18-20+" retail would have been USD $122 each, but got them for around USd $105 instead...

Thanks! You should posts some pic of your group. My first 2 started eating aggressively after I added 2 more. I bet your 4 will starting eating great together!

^ its funny you said that, i decided to feed them all yesterday by throwing some cut market prawn into the tank for them, and within literally 2 min, the new bigger guy straight away went searching for food, and ate quite a few pieces like a champ!!!

So maybe they feel there is competition for food making them as you would say, more aggressive feeders...

Just hoping the other new guy also settles soon and gets eating... Even going to buy a few PVC pipes to hide under the driftwood for them to use as caves...

Here are some pics of the crew since some felt photogenic yesterday:

Looking great. First pic looks like a cobra. Much darker than my 4.

Yeah, the one in the firstbpic has really large black spots compared to my other 3, giving it a much darket appearence almost...
