Love the Mastacembelus. Is he, by any chance, available? Or do you know of another one that is?
Also, what is the fish after that one? Thanks
 
I believe it is Synbranchus Marmoratus, however we got in 2 species and Oddball was under the impression that the other one was different..

Below that is a Trachy Trachy..

Talk to Waldo, good chance he could import you a box or two containing some large eel action if you want..
 
I MEANT to say Synbranchus. I sent that note right after waking up... Yep... Synbranchus... That's the one I'm looking for. Do you have a pic of the other one? I'm actually looking for 1 or 2, not a boxfull, but I'll check with Waldo though. Thanks for the heads-up.
 
1 or 2 is a box full. Those dudes were 4' long!

Heres some more pics, before I was stupid and 'tested' to see if they could live in the 375g.. Neglected to consider the plecos would munch on them. :( Stupid me..

Make sure you read Waldo's policies good.. ;)

Nice dudes! Sorry you lost them to your plecos. They seem quite similar - What was the reasoning behind thinking there was a second species? The first photo is of a very slender one, but then again, the other is about double its' size... (thickness anyway) My own opinion is that the "big" one is just older, and attaining girth, and the small one will catch up... but who knows.

I've dealt with Waldo's local guy - No worries (read, surprises) there :) Had great experiences with them thus far.

How were they with one another before you lost them? I heard they can be quite a brute/nasty.

Check out the 2nd pic from the bottom. Both heads are vastly different from each other. And, the diversity is too great to be any aging factor. Eye size/placement, nare placement, and mandibular architecture aren't even close to making an ID that they're same species.

I think one is Synbranchus marmoratus and the other is a Monopterus albus.
